How Kyocera reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2019, Kyocera's total waste generation increased by 73.62%, including a 9.17% 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.

Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 4.73%, yet rose by 6.01% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.

Overall, Kyocera'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.
