In 2025, Trex 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) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 25,224.9a | 24,716.8a | 19,944.3a | |
Total Waste Recovered | 8,290.8a | 7,604.7a | 3,903a | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 86.9a | 76.8a | 43.3a | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | 16,934a | 17,112a | 16,041a |

In 2025, Trex generated a total of 25,225metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 32.87% of Trex's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 67.13% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Trex reported a total waste generation of 25,225 metric tonnes, of which 32.87% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Trex is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2023, Trex's total waste generation increased by 26.48%, including a 2.06%increase in 2025, 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, Trex's waste recovery rate increased by 67.95%, including a 6.83% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Trex has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2025. 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 2025, Trex generated a total of 25,225 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0.34% of Trex'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.99.66% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, Trex's total waste generation increased by 26.48%, including a 2.06% rise in 2025, 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 Trex's total output increased by 58.68%, including a further 10.87% rise in 2025, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Trex 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
In 2025, Trex reported that 87 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.34% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (99.88%) 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.a
