Insights into Samsung Heavy Industries's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Samsung Heavy Industries generated a total of 45,577 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 56.45% of Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 43.55% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Samsung Heavy Industries's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Samsung Heavy Industries's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Samsung Heavy Industries reported a total waste generation of 45,577 metric tonnes, of which 56.45% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Samsung Heavy Industries is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Samsung Heavy Industries reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generation decreased by 14.62%, yet rose by 11.37% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Samsung Heavy Industries's waste recovery rate increased by 14.51%, including a 16.18% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Samsung Heavy Industries has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.

How Samsung Heavy Industries reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generation fell by 14.62%, but rose by 11.37% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Samsung Heavy Industries's total output increased by 31.17%, including a further 32.56% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Samsung Heavy Industries had previously reduced its waste generation, but recent increases in both volume and hazardousness suggest potential reversals or emerging operational risks that warrant further investigation.
How does Samsung Heavy Industries treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Samsung Heavy Industries reported that 5,434 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 11.92% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 36.82% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
