Navigator's Waste Recovery Rate

66%

How much of Navigator's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Navigator reported a total waste generation of 441,820 metric tonnes, of which 66.39% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Navigator is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has Navigator reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Navigator's total waste generation increased by 8.53%, including a 6.93% 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, Navigator's waste recovery rate declined by 3.68%, with a further 1.98% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, Navigator is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

How Navigator reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Navigator's total waste generation increased by 8.53%, including a 6.93% 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 Navigator's total output increased by 35.19%, including a further 11.25% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.

Overall, Navigator has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.

How does Navigator treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Navigator reported that 829 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.19% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (78.15%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Navigator has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
