In 2023, Toray Industries 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.

In 2023, Toray Industries generated a total of 151,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 2.52% of Toray Industries'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. 97.48% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2020, Toray Industries's total waste generation increased by 256.13%, including a 20.69% 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 78.22%, yet rose by 65.22% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Toray Industries'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.
