Insights into Lite-On Technology's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Lite-On Technology generated a total of 20,468 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 85.7% of Lite-On Technology's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 14.3% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Lite-On Technology's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Lite-On Technology's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Lite-On Technology reported a total waste generation of 20,468 metric tonnes, of which 85.7% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Lite-On Technology has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Lite-On Technology reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Lite-On Technology's total waste generation increased by 10.07%, but declined by 22.18% 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, Lite-On Technology's waste recovery rate increased by 11.32%, including a 4.94% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Lite-On Technology has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
