TES and Enviri both reported progress toward sustainability goals in their 2022 reports.
ITAD company TES, which was bought in 2022 by SK ecoplant, noted that it recycled, reused or resold 106,391 metric tons (over 235 million pounds) of assets in 2022, which is about 3.7 million assets and 5 million parts and accessories.
