Insights into Tower Semiconductor's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, Tower Semiconductor generated a total of 7,224 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 48.12% of Tower Semiconductor's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 51.88% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

Tower Semiconductor's Waste Recovery Rate

48%

How much of Tower Semiconductor's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Tower Semiconductor reported a total waste generation of 7,224 metric tonnes, of which 48.12% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Tower Semiconductor is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Insights into Tower Semiconductor’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste

In 2023, Tower Semiconductor generated a total of 7,224 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 94.95% of Tower Semiconductor'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. 5.05% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How does Tower Semiconductor treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Tower Semiconductor reported that 6,859 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 94.95% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (50.01%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Tower Semiconductor has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
