For 2025, the maximum limit of 438,164 tons of non-hazardous waste sent to disposal was established. By the end of 2025, the total non-hazardous waste sent to final disposal amounted to 258,720 tons, complying the established limit.
On the other hand, Ecopetrol planned to send to final disposal 131,062 tons of hazardous waste, and the amount sent was 92,647 tons, exceeding 100% compliance.
Within the framework of the materials and waste roadmap and the integrated waste management pilar, Ecopetrol has defined medium- and long-term ambitions for 2030 and 2040, focused on strengthening circularity and reducing environmental impact:

Proposed goals 2025
Ecopetrol’s integrated waste management pilar is implemented through the contribution from Upstream and Downstream segments, with short-term goals defined at the asset and project level to drive the progressive reduction of waste sent to final disposal.
Short-term goals apply to Ecopetrol operations, while medium and long-term goals extend across the Ecopetrol Group, including Hocol, ISA, Esenttia, Econova and the Cartagena refinery.
In 2025, Ecopetrol achieved 100% compliance with the established goals, as detailed below.
