Insights into Trex's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Trex generated a total of 19,944 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 19.57% of Trex's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 80.43% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Trex's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Trex's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Trex reported a total waste generation of 19,944 metric tonnes, of which 19.57% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Trex may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Trex reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Trex's total waste generation decreased by 28.34%, including a further 10.81% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Trex's waste recovery rate increased by 104.93%, including a 11.63% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Trex has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.

How Trex reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Trex's total waste generation decreased by 28.34%, with an additional 10.81% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, Trex saw a long-term increase of 29.4% in hazardous waste share, but a 9.26% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, while Trex is generating less waste and has made recent gains in reducing hazardousness, the long-term increase in harmful materials still casts doubt on the sustainability of its waste stream.
How does Trex treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Trex reported that 43 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.22% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (99.31%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Trex has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
