In 2023, Korea Gas generated a total of 184,662metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 97.46% of Korea Gas's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 2.54% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2023, Korea Gas reported a total waste generation of 184,662 metric tonnes, of which 97.46% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Korea Gas has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2020, Korea Gas's total waste generation increased by 109.59%, including a 254.04%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.a
Over the same period, Korea Gas's waste recovery rate increased by 157.03%, including a 15.71% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Korea Gas 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, Korea Gas generated a total of 184,662 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0.06% of Korea Gas'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.0.62% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 99.33% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
Since 2020, Korea Gas's total waste generation increased by 109.59%, including a 254.04% 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.a
Over the same period, Korea Gas reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 48.88%, with a further 99.28% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Korea Gas 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.a
