Insights into Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing generated a total of 949,851 metric tonnes of waste. a
Of this amount, 96.33% of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 3.67% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. a
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reported a total waste generation of 949,851 metric tonnes, of which 96.33% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management. a
Has Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's total waste generation increased by 79.37%, but declined by 6.57% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies. a
Over the same period, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's waste recovery rate increased by 2.48%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized. a
Overall, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing’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.

How Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's total waste generation increased by 79.37%, including a 6.57% 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. a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's total output increased by 59.33%, including a further 50.3% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks. a
Overall, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements. a
How does Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing reported that 563,392 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 59.31% of its overall waste generation. a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority ( 99.22%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams. a
