How REC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2024, REC's total waste generation has increased by 22,731.25%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Since 2024, REC's hazardous waste generation has increased by 98.55%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, REC'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 REC treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, REC reported that 1 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.45% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that REC has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
