In 2024, Olin conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards.The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.
| Metric (tonnes) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 81,918.782a | 74,661.304a | 87,271.172a | |
Total Waste Recovered | 29,664.941a | 31,297.874a | 34,473.02a | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 52,208.482a | 43,454.149a | 49,759.083a | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | 28,032.008a | 26,943.387a | 31,796.825a |

In 2024, Olin generated a total of 81,919metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 36.21% of Olin's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 63.79% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Olin reported a total waste generation of 81,919 metric tonnes, of which 36.21% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Olin is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, Olin's total waste generation decreased by 9.06%, yet rose by 9.72% in 2024, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.a
Over the same period, Olin's waste recovery rate declined by 27.06%, with a further 13.61% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, Olin had been making progress in reducing waste, but recent increases in waste and simultaneous drops in recovery point to emerging risks or disruptions in waste management strategy.
In 2024, Olin generated a total of 81,919 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 63.73% of Olin'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.36.27% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Olin's total waste generation fell by 9.06%, but rose by 9.72% in 2024, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste remained relatively flat but increased by 9.5% in 2024, which may indicate a recent uptick in high-risk waste production, potentially linked to material sourcing or product mix.a
Overall, Olin'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.a
In 2024, Olin reported that 52,208 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 63.73% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (53.61%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Olin has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
