Insights into Press Metal's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Press Metal generated a total of 170,566 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 119.58% of Press Metal's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.76% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Press Metal's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Press Metal's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Press Metal reported a total waste generation of 170,566 metric tonnes, of which 119.58% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Press Metal has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Press Metal reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Press Metal's total waste generation increased by 20.82%, but declined by 5.84% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Press Metal's waste recovery rate increased by 38.3%, including a 39.59% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Press Metal 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.

How Press Metal reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Press Metal's total waste generation increased by 20.82%, including a 5.84% 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.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 8.52%, yet rose by 17.73% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Press Metal'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 Press Metal treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Press Metal reported that 41,111 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 24.1% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (118.77%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Press Metal has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
