Insights into Sands China's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Sands China generated a total of 45,184 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 14.45% of Sands China's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 85.55% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Sands China's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Sands China's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Sands China reported a total waste generation of 45,184 metric tonnes, of which 14.45% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Sands China may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Sands China reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Sands China's total waste generation decreased by 42.6%, yet rose by 105.51% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Sands China's waste recovery rate increased by 21.99%, including a 13.47% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Sands China 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.
