In 2025, Samsung Heavy Industries generated a total of 75,347metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 87.37% of Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.63% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Samsung Heavy Industries reported a total waste generation of 75,347 metric tonnes, of which 87.37% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Samsung Heavy Industries has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2023, Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generation increased by 65.32%, but remained relatively stable in 2025, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.a
Over the same period, Samsung Heavy Industries's waste recovery rate increased by 54.78%, including a 4.22% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Samsung Heavy Industries continues to maintain a high level of waste generation, but steady recovery improvements point to more responsible waste handling and an ongoing investment in circularity.
In 2025, Samsung Heavy Industries generated a total of 75,347 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 7.9% of Samsung Heavy Industries'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.92.1% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, Samsung Heavy Industries's total waste generation rose by 65.32%, yet remained stable in 2025, suggesting recent efforts may have paused further escalation, though historical accumulation remains a concern.a
Over the same period, Samsung Heavy Industries reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 33.74%, with a further 7.72% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Samsung Heavy Industries'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.a
In 2025, Samsung Heavy Industries reported that 5,952 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 7.9% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 47.21% 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.a
