Insights into ONEOK's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, ONEOK generated a total of 39,909metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 1.9% of ONEOK's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 98.1% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
ONEOK's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of ONEOK's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, ONEOK reported a total waste generation of 39,909 metric tonnes, of which 1.9% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that ONEOK may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Has ONEOK reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, ONEOK's total waste generation increased by 36.55%, but declined by 41.45% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, ONEOK's waste recovery rate increased by 1.29%, including a 263.11% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, while ONEOK has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
