Insights into Saudi Electricity's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Saudi Electricity generated a total of 281,061 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 41.47% of Saudi Electricity's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 50.42% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 8.11% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Saudi Electricity's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Saudi Electricity's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Saudi Electricity reported a total waste generation of 281,061 metric tonnes, of which 41.47% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Saudi Electricity is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Saudi Electricity reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Saudi Electricity's total waste generation increased by 16.54%, including a 14.74% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Saudi Electricity's waste recovery rate increased by 129.49%, including a 41.91% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Saudi Electricity has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. 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.

How Saudi Electricity reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Saudi Electricity's total waste generation increased by 16.54%, including a 14.74% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Saudi Electricity's total output increased by 27.96%, including a further 4.37% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Saudi Electricity 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.
How does Saudi Electricity treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Saudi Electricity reported that 204,764 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 72.85% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (51.68%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Saudi Electricity has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
