Orica's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Orica's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Orica reported a total waste generation of 11,460 metric tonnes, of which 28.45% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Orica is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Orica reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Orica's total waste generation decreased by 11.78%, and remained stable in 2023, which may indicate a new baseline following earlier reductions in waste output.
Over the same period, Orica's waste recovery rate declined by 27.4%, with a further 24.5% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Orica’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
