Insights into NHPC's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, NHPC generated a total of 2,342 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 2.99% of NHPC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 94.35% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 2.66% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
NHPC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of NHPC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, NHPC reported a total waste generation of 2,342 metric tonnes, of which 2.99% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that NHPC may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has NHPC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2024, NHPC's total waste generation has increased by 59.21%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Over the same period, NHPC's waste recovery rate increased by 44.73%.

Insights into NHPC’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, NHPC generated a total of 2,342 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 2.21% of NHPC'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. 73.06% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 24.73% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How NHPC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2024, NHPC's total waste generation has increased by 59.21%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Since 2024, NHPC's hazardous waste generation has increased by 46.4%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, NHPC'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.
