The company has given energy recovery controlled elimination treatment along with recycling, so it has also been considered to calculate total hazardous waste recycled.

(Calculationof hazardous waste recycled: 8,227 + 41,329 + 5,390 + 6,066 + 5,689 + 1,365 = 68,066)

1 kg = 0.001 tonne

(Calculation: 68,066*0.001 = 68.066)
