TEPCO Waste Data Preview
In 2023, TEPCO 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.

Insights into TEPCO's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, TEPCO generated a total of 156,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 100% of TEPCO's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.06% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
TEPCO's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of TEPCO's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, TEPCO reported a total waste generation of 156,000 metric tonnes, of which 100% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that TEPCO has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has TEPCO reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, TEPCO's total waste generation increased by 8.33%, including a 11.43% 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, TEPCO's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, TEPCO's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.

Insights into TEPCO’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, TEPCO generated a total of 156,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 13.46% of TEPCO'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. 86.54% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How TEPCO reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, TEPCO's total waste generation increased by 8.33%, including a 11.43% 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, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 25.44%, yet rose by 4.7% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, TEPCO's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
