Insights into PLDT's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, PLDT generated a total of 2,181metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 14.83% of PLDT's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 85.17% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
PLDT's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of PLDT's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, PLDT reported a total waste generation of 2,181 metric tonnes, of which 14.83% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that PLDT may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Has PLDT reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, PLDT's total waste generation decreased by 17.47%, including a further 61.67% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, PLDT's waste recovery rate declined by 20.44%, with a further 50.15% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, while PLDT has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
