Other Sustainability Practices

Water Conservation
We place a strong emphasis on conserving water in our operations. We have adopted various technologies and practices aimed at reducing water consumption, such as the installation of efficient taps. We have implemented advanced irrigation technology, including the reactivation of secondary wells on-site and the collection of rainwater for reuse.
Waste Reduction
Our commitment to environmental sustainability includes focusing on waste reduction. We recognize that minimizing waste sent to landfills is important to achieving our broader sustainability goals, especially in the context of climate change mitigation. Terex aims to reduce the environmental impact of waste while also enhancing resource efficiency.
Biodiversity
Terex recognizes the paramount importance of addressing biodiversity conservation at its operational facilities. Our commitment involves not only minimizing the negative impact of our operations on biodiversity but also proactively working to enhance the ecological value of these sites.

Product Innovation and Solutions that Improve Sustainability


Terex designs products and offers solutions to our customers that lessen the demands on our planet's limited resources and support the circular economy - reducing carbon emissions, increasing waste processing, and advancing recycling and reuse of scarce resources. This will lead to a better planet, better business, and better future.

Electrification

Our customers want products that operate on battery-electric and fuel-electric hybrid options. By year-end 2022, approximately 70% of MP products and Genie machines offered electric and/or hybrid options.

Electric Vehicles

Terex is proud to be a leader in electric vehicles (EVs). In 2022, Terex was the first-to-market with an all-electric utility bucket truck. We partnered with Navistar using their International eMV electric chassis, and Viatec using their SmartPTO technology, to offer a noise- and emission-free truck. In 2023, Terex Advance followed suit, introducing a zero-emission mini-concrete mixer truck (using the same technology) to the market.

Genie Lithium-ion Battery

In October 2022, Genie introduced a lithium-ion battery for its GS slab scissor lifts. Our lithium-ion battery has an
expected lifespan of approximately 10 years, delivering the benefits of electric
power while reducing one of the biggest
ongoing maintenance requirements
for electric lift owners — battery
replacement.

Recycling and Circular Economy

Sustainability is fundamentally linked to the products produced across the MP portfolio, which not only offers solutions to recycle and repurpose waste material, but also safeguards our planet’s limited resources.

Terex Recycling Systems

In March 2023, Terex Recycling Systems (TRS) completed an installation at a UK recycling and waste management company. The installation incorporated advanced mechanical separation to increase the customer’s processing capacity and recover products of a higher purity than what was previously achieved, while not adding to manual labor requirements.

Sustainable Applications in the Aggregates Industry

Terex Washing Systems provides sustainable solutions for the minerals washing industry. Through the combination of a broad spectrum of specialized equipment, our systems use water to recover useful materials from waste.
