Insights into Indorama Ventures's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Indorama Ventures generated a total of 463,310 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 24.58% of Indorama Ventures's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 75.42% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Indorama Ventures's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Indorama Ventures's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Indorama Ventures reported a total waste generation of 463,310 metric tonnes, of which 24.58% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Indorama Ventures may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Indorama Ventures reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Indorama Ventures's total waste generation increased by 38.82%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, Indorama Ventures's waste recovery rate declined by 48.13%, with a further 3.04% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Indorama Ventures continues to produce more waste than in earlier years, while falling short on recovery. Recent stagnation in waste output offers little relief if recovery performance continues to weaken.
