In 2024, Toyota Motor 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.
| Metric (tonnes) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 249,000a | 239,000a | 233,000a | |
Total Waste Recovered | 180,000a | 171,000a | 162,000a | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 37,000a | 33,000a | 34,000a | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | N/A | N/A | N/A |

In 2024, Toyota Motor generated a total of 249,000metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 72.29% of Toyota Motor's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 27.71% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Toyota Motor reported a total waste generation of 249,000 metric tonnes, of which 72.29% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Toyota Motor is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2022, Toyota Motor's total waste generation increased by 6.87%, including a 4.18%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Toyota Motor's waste recovery rate increased by 3.97%, including a 1.04% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Toyota Motor has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2024. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
In 2024, Toyota Motor generated a total of 249,000 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 14.86% of Toyota Motor'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.85.14% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Toyota Motor's total waste generation increased by 6.87%, including a 4.18% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Toyota Motor's total output increased by 1.83%, including a further 7.62% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Toyota Motor has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.a
