In 2023, Samsung Electro-Mechanics generated a total of 115,840 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 91.06% of Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.94% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported a total waste generation of 115,840 metric tonnes, of which 91.06% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2019, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generation decreased by 3.95%, including a further 12.23% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's waste recovery rate increased by 11.99%, including a 9.68% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.
In 2023, Samsung Electro-Mechanics generated a total of 115,840 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 41.77% of Samsung Electro-Mechanics'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. 58.23% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2019, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generation decreased by 3.95%, with an additional 12.23% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total output increased by 4.65%, including a further 5.04% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Samsung Electro-Mechanics'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.
In 2023, Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported that 48,384 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 41.77% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (90.98%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
