Insights into Kinder Morgan's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Kinder Morgan generated a total of 7,898 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 50.8% of Kinder Morgan's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 49.2% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Kinder Morgan's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Kinder Morgan's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Kinder Morgan reported a total waste generation of 7,898 metric tonnes, of which 50.8% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Kinder Morgan is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Kinder Morgan reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Kinder Morgan's total waste generation increased by 60.92%, including a 116.27% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Kinder Morgan's waste recovery rate declined by 21.27%, with a further 7.47% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Kinder Morgan is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

How Kinder Morgan reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Kinder Morgan's total waste generation increased by 60.92%, including a 116.27% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Kinder Morgan's hazardous waste share remained stable both over the long term and in 2023, reflecting consistent but static performance in managing hazardous materials.
Overall, Kinder Morgan is producing more waste without a change in hazardousness, implying that operational growth is not being accompanied by stronger safeguards against environmental and human health risks.
How does Kinder Morgan treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Kinder Morgan reported that 7,803 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 98.8% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (50.39%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Kinder Morgan has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
