Insights into Denso's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2022, Denso generated a total of 155,051 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 19.84% of Denso's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.01% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 80.16% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Denso's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Denso's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2022, Denso reported a total waste generation of 155,051 metric tonnes, of which 19.84% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Denso may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Denso reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, Denso's total waste generation increased by 16.8%, but declined by 2.35% in the year 2022, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Denso's waste recovery rate increased by 3.16%, including a 14.3% rise in 2022, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Denso has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.

Insights into Denso’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2022, Denso generated a total of 155,051 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 1.64% of Denso's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 80.16% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 18.2% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Denso reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2018, Denso's total waste generation increased by 16.8%, including a 2.35% rise in 2022, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Denso's total output increased by 7.86%, including a further 10.95% rise in 2022, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, while Denso has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.
