Insights into Mitsubishi Materials's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Mitsubishi Materials generated a total of 44,200 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 38.46% of Mitsubishi Materials's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 42.31% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 19.23% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Mitsubishi Materials's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Mitsubishi Materials's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Mitsubishi Materials reported a total waste generation of 44,200 metric tonnes, of which 38.46% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Mitsubishi Materials is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Mitsubishi Materials reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Mitsubishi Materials's total waste generation increased by 247.48%, including a 262.59% increase in 2024, 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 Materials's waste recovery rate declined by 39.45%, with a further 28.53% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Mitsubishi Materials 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.

Insights into Mitsubishi Materials’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, Mitsubishi Materials generated a total of 44,200 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 14.48% of Mitsubishi Materials's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 66.29% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 19.23% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Mitsubishi Materials reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Mitsubishi Materials's total waste generation increased by 247.48%, including a 262.59% rise in 2024, 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 17.41%, yet rose by 49.58% in 2024, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Mitsubishi Materials'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.
How does Mitsubishi Materials treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Mitsubishi Materials reported that 6,400 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 14.48% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 31.25% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
