In 2023, Pembina Pipeline generated a total of 120,454metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 3.17% of Pembina Pipeline's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 96.83% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2023, Pembina Pipeline reported a total waste generation of 120,454 metric tonnes, of which 3.17% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Pembina Pipeline may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Since 2021, Pembina Pipeline's total waste generation increased by 130.72%, including a 51.84%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, Pembina Pipeline's waste recovery rate declined by 40.02%, with a further 20.11% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, Pembina Pipeline 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.
In 2023, Pembina Pipeline generated a total of 120,454 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 38.56% of Pembina Pipeline'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.61.44% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Pembina Pipeline's total waste generation increased by 130.72%, including a 51.84% 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.a
Over the same period, Pembina Pipeline reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 10.11%, with a further 20.45% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Pembina Pipeline is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
In 2023, Pembina Pipeline reported that 46,453 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 38.56% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Only 1.29% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Pembina Pipeline’s current hazardous waste practices.a
