ESG Reporting

Reporting textile destruction in ESG disclosures

Turn destruction and diversion into credible, sourced ESG numbers, not estimates.

Reporting textile destruction in ESG disclosures means representing how much textile waste was diverted from landfill, and how it was handled, with documented, auditable evidence. Credible reporting ties every figure to a Certificate of Destruction and chain-of-custody record rather than an estimate, so the numbers withstand scrutiny.

The Challenge

Understanding esg reporting

Sustainability teams are increasingly asked to show sourced numbers, not round estimates. Textile diversion is reportable, but only if the underlying activity is documented.

When destruction and recovery are tracked per event, the diversion tonnage and recovery rates roll up into figures you can defend in a board report or a disclosure framework.

How We Solve It

How TRQ addresses esg reporting

Per-event diversion data

Every destruction event is recorded with its diversion tonnage and recovery, certificate by certificate.

Audit-ready evidence

Each figure traces back to a photo-documented Certificate of Destruction.

Recovery, not just diversion

Closed-loop fiber-to-yarn turns disposal into a documented recovery story.

FAQ

ESG Reporting FAQ

How do I report textile destruction in ESG disclosures?

Report the diversion tonnage and how the material was handled, each figure backed by a Certificate of Destruction and chain-of-custody record so it is auditable rather than estimated.

What makes the numbers credible?

Traceability. Every figure ties to a documented destruction event, not an estimate, which is what auditors and frameworks expect.

Does landfill diversion count?

Documented diversion from landfill is reportable; closed-loop recovery into new yarn is a stronger story than diversion alone.

Can I use the data for disclosure frameworks?

Yes. You receive the underlying destruction and recovery records, each traceable to a Certificate of Destruction, and your team carries those figures into whichever framework you report under. We do not operate a reporting platform.

Who needs this data?

Sustainability, compliance, and procurement teams preparing board reports and disclosures.

Is estimating diversion acceptable?

Estimates are increasingly challenged. Sourced, certificate-backed figures are far more defensible.

What is the difference between diversion and recovery?

Diversion is keeping material out of landfill; recovery is turning it back into usable fiber or yarn. Reporting both is stronger than reporting diversion alone.

How current is the data?

Documentation is issued as each job completes, so your figures reflect actual activity through the year rather than a single estimate made at reporting time.

Can multiple sites roll up into one report?

Yes. Destruction events across locations consolidate into a single set of figures for an organization-wide disclosure.

What frameworks does this support?

Because each figure is sourced to a documented destruction event, the data holds up regardless of the voluntary disclosure framework you report under.
