Insights into Okea's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, Okea generated a total of 6,186 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 22.32% of Okea's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 77.68% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

Okea's Waste Recovery Rate

22%

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

In 2023, Okea reported a total waste generation of 6,186 metric tonnes, of which 22.32% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Okea may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.

Has Okea reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2020, Okea's total waste generation increased by 762.76%, including a 221.02% 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, Okea's waste recovery rate declined by 59.17%, with a further 74.18% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, Okea 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 Okea reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2020, Okea's total waste generation increased by 762.76%, including a 221.02% 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 Okea's total output increased by 33.58%, including a further 6.49% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.

Overall, Okea 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 Okea treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Okea reported that 5,774 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 93.34% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 16.9% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
