In 2023, Stella-Jones generated a total of 33,702 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 44.86% of Stella-Jones's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 44.85% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 10.28% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
In 2023, Stella-Jones reported a total waste generation of 33,702 metric tonnes, of which 44.86% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Stella-Jones is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2021, Stella-Jones's total waste generation increased by 188.72%, including a 20.83% 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, Stella-Jones's waste recovery rate declined by 3.29%, yet improved by 154.12% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Stella-Jones’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.
In 2023, Stella-Jones generated a total of 33,702 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 10.28% of Stella-Jones'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. 44.85% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 44.86% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Since 2021, Stella-Jones's total waste generation increased by 188.72%, including a 20.83% 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 Stella-Jones's total output increased by 43.08%, including a further 84% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Stella-Jones 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.
