How Eisai reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2019, Eisai's total waste generation increased by 128.24%, including a 9.53% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.

Since 2023, Eisai's hazardous waste generation has decreased by 33.07%, suggesting a recent shift toward safer materials, improved waste handling protocols, or stronger compliance with environmental standards.

Overall, Eisai has reduced both its total waste and hazardous waste in the last year, suggesting effective waste management practices and improved material sourcing.

How does Eisai treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Eisai reported that 264 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 2.52% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 7.95% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Eisai’s current hazardous waste practices.
