Insights into ON Semiconductor's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, ON Semiconductor generated a total of 30,672 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 70.39% of ON Semiconductor's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 29.61% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

ON Semiconductor's Waste Recovery Rate

How much of ON Semiconductor's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, ON Semiconductor reported a total waste generation of 30,672 metric tonnes, of which 70.39% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that ON Semiconductor is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has ON Semiconductor reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, ON Semiconductor's total waste generation increased by 12.9%, including a 18.44% 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, ON Semiconductor's waste recovery rate increased by 3.28%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.

Overall, ON Semiconductor’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 ON Semiconductor’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste

In 2023, ON Semiconductor generated a total of 30,672 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 32.58% of ON Semiconductor'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. 67.42% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How ON Semiconductor reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, ON Semiconductor's total waste generation increased by 12.9%, including a 18.44% rise in 2023, 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, ON Semiconductor reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 10.08%, with a further 5.99% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.

Overall, ON Semiconductor is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.

How does ON Semiconductor treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, ON Semiconductor reported that 9,992 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 32.58% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 36.59% 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.
