Kingspan Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Kingspan Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Kingspan Group reported a total waste generation of 148,733 metric tonnes, of which 63.85% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Kingspan Group is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Kingspan Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Kingspan Group's total waste generation increased by 57.8%, including a 7.56% 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, Kingspan Group's waste recovery rate declined by 6.21%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, Kingspan Group’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.
