In 2024, Kyushu Railway generated a total of 80,004 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0% of Kyushu Railway's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 100% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2024, Kyushu Railway reported a total waste generation of 80,004 metric tonnes, of which 0% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Kyushu Railway may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2022, Kyushu Railway's total waste generation decreased by 3.61%, including a further 6.98% drop in 2024, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Kyushu Railway's waste recovery rate declined by 22.19%, yet improved by 7.5% in 2024, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Kyushu Railway’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, Kyushu Railway generated a total of 80,004 metric tonnes of waste.
