Insights into Meridian Energy's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Meridian Energy generated a total of 8,973 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 92.95% of Meridian Energy's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 7.05% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Meridian Energy's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Meridian Energy's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Meridian Energy reported a total waste generation of 8,973 metric tonnes, of which 92.95% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Meridian Energy has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Meridian Energy reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Meridian Energy's total waste generation increased by 973.33%, including a 509.99% 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, Meridian Energy's waste recovery rate increased by 484.23%, including a 80.14% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Meridian Energy 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.
