How Minerva reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Minerva's total waste generation increased by 32.85%, including a 7.48% 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, the share of hazardous waste in Minerva's total output increased by 231.86%, including a further 4.46% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.

Overall, while Minerva has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.

How does Minerva treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Minerva reported that 140 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.1% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 20.43% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
