Insights into NCC's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, NCC generated a total of 54,749 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 95.93% of NCC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 4.07% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
NCC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of NCC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, NCC reported a total waste generation of 54,749 metric tonnes, of which 95.93% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that NCC has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has NCC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, NCC's total waste generation increased by 2.02%, including a 3.13% 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, NCC's waste recovery rate increased by 1.72%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, NCC’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.

Insights into NCC’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, NCC generated a total of 54,749 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.82% of NCC'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. 99.18% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How NCC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, NCC's total waste generation increased by 2.02%, including a 3.13% 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, NCC reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 27.45%, with a further 37.85% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, NCC is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does NCC treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, NCC reported that 450 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.82% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.22% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with NCC’s current hazardous waste practices.
