Insights into LG Uplus's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, LG Uplus generated a total of 7,463 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 77.72% of LG Uplus's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 22.28% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
LG Uplus's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of LG Uplus's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, LG Uplus reported a total waste generation of 7,463 metric tonnes, of which 77.72% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that LG Uplus has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has LG Uplus reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, LG Uplus's total waste generation increased by 1.55%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, LG Uplus's waste recovery rate declined by 1.37%, with a further 1.14% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, LG Uplus continues to produce more waste than in earlier years, while falling short on recovery. Recent stagnation in waste output offers little relief if recovery performance continues to weaken.

Insights into LG Uplus’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, LG Uplus generated a total of 7,463 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 79.04% of LG Uplus'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. 20.96% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How LG Uplus reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, LG Uplus's total waste generation increased by 1.55%, including a 0.13% 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 Uplus reduced the share of hazardous waste by 1.16%, then maintained stable levels in 2023, potentially marking the consolidation of earlier progress in eliminating high-risk materials from its waste stream.
Overall, LG Uplus's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
