In 2023, Konecranes Abp generated a total of 22,200 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 80.63% of Konecranes Abp's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 19.37% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Konecranes Abp reported a total waste generation of 22,200 metric tonnes, of which 80.63% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Konecranes Abp has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2021, Konecranes Abp's total waste generation increased by 4.23%, including a 21.31% 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, Konecranes Abp's waste recovery rate increased by 5.36%, including a 2.47% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Konecranes Abp has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
In 2023, Konecranes Abp generated a total of 22,200 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 5.86% of Konecranes Abp'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. 94.14% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, Konecranes Abp's total waste generation increased by 4.23%, including a 21.31% 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, Konecranes Abp reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 10.91%, with a further 17.57% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Konecranes Abp is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
