In 2024, Yageo generated a total of 12,615metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 78.51% of Yageo's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 21.49% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Yageo reported a total waste generation of 12,615 metric tonnes, of which 78.51% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Yageo has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2021, Yageo's total waste generation increased by 11.15%, including a 33.04%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.a
Over the same period, Yageo's waste recovery rate declined by 15.82%, yet improved by 3.23% in 2024, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.a
Overall, Yageo’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.

Since 2021, Yageo's total waste generation increased by 11.15%, including a 33.04% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, Yageo reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 15.88%, with a further 16.96% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Yageo is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
In 2024, Yageo reported that 6,230 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 49.39% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (76.16%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Yageo has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
