Waste

CPChem is committed to optimizing resource consumption and waste production to help mitigate associated impacts. We employ diversion mechanisms to keep waste out of landfills, reduce consumption where possible, and promote a circular economy within the company and industry. Waste specialist teams at each manufacturing site develop and endorse practices to reduce waste, prevent pollution, and adopt a “reduce, reuse, recycle” mindset. SDG #12, Responsible Consumption and Production

In 2024, CPChem’s global operations generated 66.52 TMT of non-hazardous waste and 30.06 TMT of hazardous waste on an equity basis. More than 35% of non-hazardous waste, the company’s largest waste category, was diverted from disposal. We continue to enhance our waste inventory through expanded analysis of all waste streams to better identify and prioritize areas for improvement, including our Scope 3 emissions inventory. Additionally, we employ specialized disposal techniques such as biotreatment, energy recovery, incineration, landfill, materials recovery, and more.

We advocate for the proper disposal of all waste. By reviewing disposal practices and standardizing waste processes, we improve communication with third-party facilities and ensure the correct management of materials. Additionally, our facilities maintain dedicated procedures for spill prevention, controls, countermeasures and contingencies for waste.
