Insights into Mineral Resources's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Mineral Resources generated a total of 161,635,274 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0% of Mineral Resources's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.01% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 99.99% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Mineral Resources's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Mineral Resources's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Mineral Resources reported a total waste generation of 161,635,274 metric tonnes, of which 0% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Mineral Resources may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Mineral Resources reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2022, Mineral Resources's total waste generation increased by 50.98%, including a 58.19% increase in 2024, 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, Mineral Resources's waste recovery rate increased by 26.18%, but declined by 27.04% in 2024, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Mineral Resources’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.

How Mineral Resources reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2022, Mineral Resources's total waste generation increased by 50.98%, including a 58.19% rise in 2024, 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, Mineral Resources saw a long-term increase of 30.47% in hazardous waste share, but a 28.88% reduction in 2024, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, Mineral Resources'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.
How does Mineral Resources treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Mineral Resources reported that 4,576 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (68.82%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Mineral Resources has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
