In 2023, NMDC Group generated a total of 867,642 metric tonnes of waste. a
Of this amount, 13.36% of NMDC Group's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 86.21% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. a
In 2023, NMDC Group reported a total waste generation of 867,642 metric tonnes, of which 13.36% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that NMDC Group may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives. a
Since 2021, NMDC Group's total waste generation increased by 1,546.15%, including a 1,842.15% 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. a
Over the same period, NMDC Group's waste recovery rate declined by 87.17%, with a further 70.44% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies. a
Overall, NMDC Group 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.
