Insights into Zyxel Group's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Zyxel Group generated a total of 1,250 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 88.61% of Zyxel Group's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Zyxel Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Zyxel Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Zyxel Group reported a total waste generation of 1,250 metric tonnes, of which 88.61% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Zyxel Group has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Zyxel Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Zyxel Group's total waste generation increased by 21.88%, but declined by 5.15% 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, Zyxel Group's waste recovery rate declined by 7.35%, with a further 3.64% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Zyxel Group has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.

How Zyxel Group reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Zyxel Group's total waste generation increased by 21.88%, including a 5.15% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Zyxel Group's total output increased by 132.01%, including a further 39.73% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, while Zyxel Group has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.
How does Zyxel Group treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Zyxel Group reported that 227 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 18.18% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (50.9%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Zyxel Group has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
