Value Chain Waste Reduction Results
Delta's waste reduction starts with its own improvements and it collaborates with the value chain to facilitate effective use of waste and reduce the production of waste. Delta plants have quantified value chain collaboration and overall effectiveness. The total amount of waste generated was 69,064 tons, and the total amount of all waste diverted was 68,403 tons, with a diversion rate* of 99%.
*Waste diversion rate = reuse + reduction + recycling + waste energy recovery + anaerobic digestion + biofuel + composting) / total weight of waste generated; of which, the percentage of waste energy recovery must be less than 10%.
Implementing Waste Management
Statistically, the total weight of waste at overall production plants processed by qualified disposal institutions was approximately 49,272 tons in 2022, of which, non-hazardous waste accounted for 45,352 metric tons (92%), and hazardous waste accounted for 3,919 metric tons (8%).
