Insights into Hyundai Steel's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hyundai Steel generated a total of 10,162,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 99.18% of Hyundai Steel's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.82% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Hyundai Steel's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hyundai Steel's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hyundai Steel reported a total waste generation of 10,162,000 metric tonnes, of which 99.18% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Hyundai Steel has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Hyundai Steel reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Hyundai Steel's total waste generation decreased by 1.59%, yet rose by 2.11% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Hyundai Steel's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but increased by 1.54% in 2023, hinting at early momentum toward stronger circularity practices or more robust waste treatment reporting.
Overall, Hyundai Steel’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 Hyundai Steel reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Hyundai Steel's total waste generation fell by 1.59%, but rose by 2.11% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 11.67%, yet rose by 5.04% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Hyundai Steel had improved its waste performance over time, but a recent rise in both waste output and hazardousness may reflect operational volatility or a drift from previously effective strategies.
How does Hyundai Steel treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Hyundai Steel reported that 133,000 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.31% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (93.98%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Hyundai Steel has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
