Insights into Santen Pharmaceutical's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Santen Pharmaceutical generated a total of 4,838 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 43.7% of Santen Pharmaceutical's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 56.3% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Santen Pharmaceutical's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Santen Pharmaceutical's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Santen Pharmaceutical reported a total waste generation of 4,838 metric tonnes, of which 43.7% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Santen Pharmaceutical is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Santen Pharmaceutical reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Santen Pharmaceutical's total waste generation decreased by 16.92%, including a further 13.61% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Santen Pharmaceutical's waste recovery rate declined by 2.96%, with a further 4.97% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Santen Pharmaceutical has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
