In 2023, Kansai Electric Power reported a total waste generation of 609,800 metric tonnes, of which 97.51% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Kansai Electric Power has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2018, Kansai Electric Power's total waste generation increased by 5.14%, but declined by 9.23% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Kansai Electric Power's waste recovery rate declined by 2.32%, with a further 1.38% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Kansai Electric Power has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.
