Insights into Taiwan High Speed Rail's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Taiwan High Speed Rail generated a total of 7,322 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 29.94% of Taiwan High Speed Rail's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 70.06% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Taiwan High Speed Rail's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Taiwan High Speed Rail's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Taiwan High Speed Rail reported a total waste generation of 7,322 metric tonnes, of which 29.94% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Taiwan High Speed Rail is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Taiwan High Speed Rail reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Taiwan High Speed Rail's total waste generation increased by 23.12%, including a 16.1% 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, Taiwan High Speed Rail's waste recovery rate increased by 10.35%, including a 28.77% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Taiwan High Speed Rail has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

How Taiwan High Speed Rail reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Taiwan High Speed Rail's total waste generation increased by 23.12%, including a 16.1% 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, Taiwan High Speed Rail reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 79.69%, with a further 99.69% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Taiwan High Speed Rail 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 Taiwan High Speed Rail treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Taiwan High Speed Rail reported that 0 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Taiwan High Speed Rail has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
