Insights into Mitsubishi Electric's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Mitsubishi Electric generated a total of 294,590 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 79.39% of Mitsubishi Electric's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.77% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 19.84% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Mitsubishi Electric's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Mitsubishi Electric's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Mitsubishi Electric reported a total waste generation of 294,590 metric tonnes, of which 79.39% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Mitsubishi Electric has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Mitsubishi Electric reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2022, Mitsubishi Electric's total waste generation increased by 9.39%, but remained relatively stable in 2024, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, Mitsubishi Electric's waste recovery rate increased by 205.5%, including a 4.12% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Mitsubishi Electric continues to maintain a high level of waste generation, but steady recovery improvements point to more responsible waste handling and an ongoing investment in circularity.
