In 2023, Saudi Telecom generated a total of 6,337 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 16.14% of Saudi Telecom's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 83.86% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Saudi Telecom reported a total waste generation of 6,337 metric tonnes, of which 16.14% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Saudi Telecom may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2021, Saudi Telecom's total waste generation increased by 20.7%, but declined by 3.25% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Saudi Telecom's waste recovery rate increased by 37.65%.
In 2023, Saudi Telecom generated a total of 6,337 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 12.92% of Saudi Telecom'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. 0.66% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 86.41% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Since 2021, Saudi Telecom's total waste generation increased by 20.7%, including a 3.25% 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.
Overall, Saudi Telecom'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.
In 2023, Saudi Telecom reported that 819 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 12.92% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (94.24%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Saudi Telecom has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
