Of this amount, 86.36% of Volex's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 13.64% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2026, Volex reported a total waste generation of 7,340 metric tonnes, of which 86.36% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Volex has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2022, Volex's total waste generation increased by 575.87%, but declined by 8.2% in the year 2026, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, Volex's waste recovery rate increased by 5.15%, including a 5.08% rise in 2026, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, while Volex has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
In 2026, Volex generated a total of 7,340 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 1.51% of Volex'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.98.49% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Volex's total waste generation rose by 575.87%, but dropped by 8.2% in 2026, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, Volex saw a long-term increase of 26.33% in hazardous waste share, but a 22.98% reduction in 2026, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.a
Overall, Volex'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.a
In 2026, Volex reported that 111 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.51% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Only 4.5% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Volex’s current hazardous waste practices.a
