Insights into WNC's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, WNC generated a total of 6,615 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 87.3% of WNC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.7% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
WNC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of WNC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, WNC reported a total waste generation of 6,615 metric tonnes, of which 87.3% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that WNC has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has WNC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, WNC's total waste generation increased by 44.57%, including a 8.94% 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, WNC's waste recovery rate increased by 2.29%, including a 4.39% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, WNC has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

Insights into WNC’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, WNC generated a total of 6,615 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 5.93% of WNC'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. 94.07% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How WNC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, WNC's total waste generation increased by 44.57%, including a 8.94% 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 decreased by 6.05%, yet rose by 22.87% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, WNC'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.
How does WNC treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, WNC reported that 392 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.93% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (79.13%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that WNC has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
