In 2025, KCC generated a total of 26,005metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 78.07% of KCC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 21.93% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, KCC reported a total waste generation of 26,005 metric tonnes, of which 78.07% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that KCC has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2023, KCC's total waste generation decreased by 24.68%, including a further 28.71% drop in 2025, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, KCC's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but declined by 1.52% in 2025, potentially pointing to emerging inefficiencies or short-term disruptions in recovery efforts.a
Overall, KCC’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.
In 2025, KCC generated a total of 26,005 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 53.08% of KCC'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.46.92% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, KCC's total waste generation decreased by 24.68%, with an additional 28.71% decline in 2025, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, KCC saw a long-term increase of 2.01% in hazardous waste share, but a 4.02% reduction in 2025, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.a
Overall, while KCC is generating less waste and has made recent gains in reducing hazardousness, the long-term increase in harmful materials still casts doubt on the sustainability of its waste stream.a
In 2025, KCC reported that 13,804 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 53.08% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (83.64%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that KCC has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
