In 2024, NEC reported a total waste generation of 38,500 metric tonnes, of which 72.99% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that NEC is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, NEC's total waste generation increased by 7.24%, but declined by 8.77% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, NEC's waste recovery rate declined by 9.96%, with a further 16.07% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, NEC has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.
