Insights into Yancoal Australia's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Yancoal Australia generated a total of 18 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 66.38% of Yancoal Australia's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 41.53% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Yancoal Australia's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Yancoal Australia's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Yancoal Australia reported a total waste generation of 18 metric tonnes, of which 66.38% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Yancoal Australia is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Yancoal Australia reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Yancoal Australia's total waste generation increased by 27.59%, including a 17.59% 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, Yancoal Australia's waste recovery rate increased by 8.23%, but declined by 3.64% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Yancoal Australia’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.

How Yancoal Australia reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Yancoal Australia's total waste generation increased by 27.59%, including a 17.59% 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, Yancoal Australia reduced the share of hazardous waste by 11.8%, then maintained stable levels in 2023, potentially marking the consolidation of earlier progress in eliminating high-risk materials from its waste stream.
Overall, Yancoal Australia's growing waste output continues to pressure the environment, though past reductions in hazardousness have held steady, suggesting a neutralizing effect that should be actively monitored.
How does Yancoal Australia treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Yancoal Australia reported that 8 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 47.7% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (81.57%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Yancoal Australia has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
