Of this amount, 2.72% of Huntsman's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 97.28% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Huntsman's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Huntsman's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Huntsman reported a total waste generation of 244,546 metric tonnes, of which 2.72% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Huntsman may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Huntsman reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Huntsman's total waste generation decreased by 63.9%, including a further 12.68% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Huntsman's waste recovery rate increased by 103.11%, but declined by 15.38% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Huntsman’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How Huntsman reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Huntsman's total waste generation decreased by 63.9%, with an additional 12.68% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Huntsman's total output increased by 114.05%, including a further 3.48% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Huntsman's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does Huntsman treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Huntsman reported that 48,025 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 19.64% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 6.42% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Huntsman’s current hazardous waste practices.
