Insights into Korea Aerospace Industries's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Korea Aerospace Industries generated a total of 2,549 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 84.26% of Korea Aerospace Industries's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 14.46% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 1.28% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Korea Aerospace Industries's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Korea Aerospace Industries's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Korea Aerospace Industries reported a total waste generation of 2,549 metric tonnes, of which 84.26% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Korea Aerospace Industries has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Korea Aerospace Industries reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Korea Aerospace Industries's total waste generation decreased by 17.53%, yet rose by 7.86% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Korea Aerospace Industries's waste recovery rate declined by 1.79%, yet improved by 3.27% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Korea Aerospace Industries’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.
