Insights into Omron's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Omron generated a total of 8,740 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 96.25% of Omron's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 10.37% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Omron's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Omron's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Omron reported a total waste generation of 8,740 metric tonnes, of which 96.25% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Omron has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Omron reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Omron's total waste generation decreased by 35.78%, including a further 13.09% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Omron's waste recovery rate increased by 2.9%, but declined by 1.24% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Omron’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.

Insights into Omron’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Omron generated a total of 8,740 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 8.18% of Omron'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. 91.82% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Omron reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Omron's total waste generation decreased by 35.78%, with an additional 13.09% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, Omron saw a long-term increase of 2.89% in hazardous waste share, but a 21.58% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, while Omron is generating less waste and has made recent gains in reducing hazardousness, the long-term increase in harmful materials still casts doubt on the sustainability of its waste stream.
How does Omron treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Omron reported that 715 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 8.18% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (84.2%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Omron has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
