In 2023, USI generated a total of 528 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 20.68% of USI's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 79.32% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, USI reported a total waste generation of 528 metric tonnes, of which 20.68% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that USI may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2021, USI's total waste generation decreased by 40.68%, yet rose by 9.94% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, USI's waste recovery rate declined by 56.23%, yet improved by 1.21% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, USI’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, USI generated a total of 528 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 14.8% of USI'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. 85.2% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, USI's total waste generation fell by 40.68%, but rose by 9.94% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in USI's total output increased by 493.14%, including a further 12.3% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, USI had previously reduced its waste generation, but recent increases in both volume and hazardousness suggest potential reversals or emerging operational risks that warrant further investigation.
