Insights into Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical generated a total of 85,486 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 27.16% of Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.13% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 72.71% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical reported a total waste generation of 85,486 metric tonnes, of which 27.16% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Mitsubishi Gas Chemical is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Mitsubishi Gas Chemical reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's total waste generation increased by 8.05%, including a 8.03% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical's waste recovery rate declined by 13.75%, with a further 1.82% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
