Waste

Oyu Tolgoi is committed to exercising responsible waste management practices through a waste minimisation strategy, reducing our waste, reusing where possible, and recycling what we can.

We have introduced dedicated waste collection containers near waste-generating points and carry out routine awareness training to reinforce proper behaviour among our workforce. Our waste is classified into four types based on its recyclable, non-recyclable and hazardous properties. It is then further sorted into 33 types for proper management.

We also carrying out trials to recycle food waste and introduce biological methods to remediate contaminated soil.
