Insights into Tokyo Electron's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, Tokyo Electron generated a total of 18,249 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 98.51% of Tokyo Electron's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 1.49% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

Tokyo Electron's Waste Recovery Rate

99%

How much of Tokyo Electron's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Tokyo Electron reported a total waste generation of 18,249 metric tonnes, of which 98.51% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Tokyo Electron has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Tokyo Electron reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2019, Tokyo Electron's total waste generation increased by 21.99%, including a 26.21% 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, Tokyo Electron'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, Tokyo Electron'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.

How Tokyo Electron reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2019, Tokyo Electron's total waste generation increased by 21.99%, including a 26.21% 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, Tokyo Electron reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 33.56%, with a further 14.66% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.

Overall, Tokyo Electron 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.
