SOL Waste Data Preview
In 2023, SOL conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into SOL's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, SOL generated a total of 5,683 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 49.97% of SOL's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 50.03% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
SOL's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of SOL's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, SOL reported a total waste generation of 5,683 metric tonnes, of which 49.97% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that SOL is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has SOL reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, SOL's total waste generation increased by 25.62%, but declined by 34.24% 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, SOL's waste recovery rate increased by 38.44%, but declined by 26.07% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, SOL’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

Insights into SOL’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, SOL generated a total of 5,683 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 5.1% of SOL'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. 94.9% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How SOL reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, SOL's total waste generation increased by 25.62%, including a 34.24% 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 decreased by 42.29%, yet rose by 19.51% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, SOL'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.
How does SOL treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, SOL reported that 290 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.1% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (52.07%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that SOL has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
