Insights into Ternium's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Ternium generated a total of 94,600 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 22.41% of Ternium's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 77.48% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ternium's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ternium's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Ternium reported a total waste generation of 94,600 metric tonnes, of which 22.41% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Ternium may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Ternium reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Ternium's total waste generation decreased by 45.85%, including a further 7.71% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Ternium's waste recovery rate declined by 12.61%, yet improved by 108.82% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Ternium’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.
