Insights into AUO's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, AUO generated a total of 73,469 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 91.69% of AUO's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.31% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
AUO's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of AUO's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, AUO reported a total waste generation of 73,469 metric tonnes, of which 91.69% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that AUO has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has AUO reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, AUO's total waste generation decreased by 11.11%, including a further 3.59% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, AUO's waste recovery rate increased by 10.65%, including a 2.45% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, AUO has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.

How AUO reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, AUO's total waste generation decreased by 11.11%, with an additional 3.59% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 14.19%, yet rose by 6.88% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, AUO's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does AUO treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, AUO reported that 13,805 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 18.79% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (84.84%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that AUO has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
