In 2024, Samsung Electro-Mechanics generated a total of 136,244metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 98.72% of Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 1.28% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported a total waste generation of 136,244 metric tonnes, of which 98.72% 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.a
Since 2020, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generation increased by 10.86%, including a 19.31%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's waste recovery rate increased by 22.29%, including a 3.12% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2024. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
In 2024, Samsung Electro-Mechanics generated a total of 136,244 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 45.84% 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.54.16% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2020, Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total waste generation increased by 10.86%, including a 19.31% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Samsung Electro-Mechanics's total output increased by 25.66%, including a further 10.78% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.a
In 2024, Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported that 62,460 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 45.84% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (97.22%) 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.a
