Insights into UltraTech Cement's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, UltraTech Cement generated a total of 2,710,396 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 100% of UltraTech Cement's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
UltraTech Cement's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of UltraTech Cement's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, UltraTech Cement reported a total waste generation of 2,710,396 metric tonnes, of which 100% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that UltraTech Cement has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has UltraTech Cement reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2022, UltraTech Cement's total waste generation increased by 5,881.4%, including a 4,593.65% increase in 2024, 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, UltraTech Cement's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2024, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, UltraTech Cement's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.
