In 2024, TDK generated a total of 121,617metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 99.75% of TDK's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.25% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, TDK reported a total waste generation of 121,617 metric tonnes, of which 99.75% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that TDK has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2020, TDK's total waste generation increased by 11.7%, but declined by 6.95% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, TDK's waste recovery rate increased by 6.53%, while holding steady in 2024, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.a
Overall, TDK’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.
In 2024, TDK generated a total of 121,617 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0.29% of TDK'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.99.71% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2020, TDK's total waste generation rose by 11.7%, but dropped by 6.95% in 2024, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, TDK reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 59.11%, with a further 35.78% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, TDK has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.a
In 2024, TDK reported that 349 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.29% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (97.13%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that TDK has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
