Insights into Polyus's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Polyus generated a total of 63,490 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 24.7% of Polyus's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 75.3% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Polyus's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Polyus's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Polyus reported a total waste generation of 63,490 metric tonnes, of which 24.7% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Polyus may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Polyus reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Polyus's total waste generation increased by 15.23%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.

How Polyus reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Polyus's total waste generation increased by 15.23%, including a 0.62% 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.
Over the same period, Polyus reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 36.93%, with a further 30.85% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Polyus'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.
How does Polyus treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Polyus reported that 14,680 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 23.12% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (84.81%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Polyus has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
