In 2023, Unicharm generated a total of 80,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 88.75% of Unicharm's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.25% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Unicharm reported a total waste generation of 80,000 metric tonnes, of which 88.75% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Unicharm has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2021, Unicharm's total waste generation increased by 6.67%, but declined by 6.98% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Unicharm's waste recovery rate increased by 7.36%, including a 6.01% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Unicharm has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
