In 2023, Realtek Semiconductor conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

In 2023, Realtek Semiconductor generated a total of 26 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 33.19% of Realtek 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. 66.81% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, Realtek Semiconductor's total waste generation decreased by 32.35%, with an additional 19.55% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, Realtek Semiconductor saw a long-term increase of 42.94% in hazardous waste share, but a 8.42% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, while Realtek Semiconductor 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.
