In 2023, Unimicron Technology generated a total of 94,189 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 89.98% of Unimicron Technology's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 10.02% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

Unimicron Technology's Waste Recovery Rate

90%

How much of Unimicron Technology's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Unimicron Technology reported a total waste generation of 94,189 metric tonnes, of which 89.98% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Unimicron Technology has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Unimicron Technology reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Unimicron Technology's total waste generation decreased by 25.54%, including a further 22.24% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.

Over the same period, Unimicron Technology's waste recovery rate declined by 1.82%, with a further 1.44% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, while Unimicron Technology has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.

How Unimicron Technology reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Unimicron Technology's total waste generation decreased by 25.54%, with an additional 22.24% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.

Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Unimicron Technology's total output increased by 4.11%, including a further 2.46% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.

Overall, Unimicron Technology'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.

How does Unimicron Technology treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Unimicron Technology reported that 65,375 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 69.41% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (91.8%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Unimicron Technology has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
