In 2025, Jinko Solar generated a total of 252,646metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 89.2% of Jinko Solar's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 10.57% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Jinko Solar reported a total waste generation of 252,646 metric tonnes, of which 89.2% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Jinko Solar has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2022, Jinko Solar's total waste generation increased by 30.94%, but declined by 11.72% in the year 2025, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, Jinko Solar's waste recovery rate increased by 11.58%, including a 5.22% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, while Jinko Solar has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
In 2025, Jinko Solar generated a total of 252,646 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0.81% of Jinko Solar's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.99.19% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Jinko Solar's total waste generation rose by 30.94%, but dropped by 11.72% in 2025, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, Jinko Solar reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 85.78%, with a further 71.34% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Jinko Solar has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.a
In 2025, Jinko Solar reported that 2,043 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.81% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 46.12% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
