Insights into LG Energy Solution's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, LG Energy Solution generated a total of 244,289 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 90.34% of LG Energy Solution's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 9.56% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
LG Energy Solution's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of LG Energy Solution's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, LG Energy Solution reported a total waste generation of 244,289 metric tonnes, of which 90.34% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that LG Energy Solution has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has LG Energy Solution reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, LG Energy Solution's total waste generation increased by 69.77%, including a 58.99% 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, LG Energy Solution's waste recovery rate increased by 7.28%, including a 9.18% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, LG Energy Solution 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.

How LG Energy Solution reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, LG Energy Solution's total waste generation increased by 69.77%, including a 58.99% 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, LG Energy Solution reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 69.49%, with a further 66.02% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, LG Energy Solution 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.
How does LG Energy Solution treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, LG Energy Solution reported that 26,269 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 10.75% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (61.46%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that LG Energy Solution has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
