In 2024, Kawasaki Heavy Industries generated a total of 72,347metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 58.77% of Kawasaki Heavy Industries's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 1.5% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.The remaining 39.73% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
In 2024, Kawasaki Heavy Industries reported a total waste generation of 72,347 metric tonnes, of which 58.77% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Kawasaki Heavy Industries is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, Kawasaki Heavy Industries's total waste generation increased by 22.95%, including a 2.49%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Kawasaki Heavy Industries's waste recovery rate declined by 19.88%, yet improved by 2.54% in 2024, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.a
Overall, Kawasaki Heavy Industries’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
In 2024, Kawasaki Heavy Industries generated a total of 72,347 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 2.18% of Kawasaki Heavy Industries'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.58.09% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 39.73% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
Since 2021, Kawasaki Heavy Industries's total waste generation increased by 22.95%, including a 2.49% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 6.19%, yet rose by 9.88% in 2024, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, Kawasaki Heavy Industries'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.a
In 2024, Kawasaki Heavy Industries reported that 1,579 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 2.18% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Kawasaki Heavy Industries has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
