Recycled Decking

Trex is made from about 50 percent recycled and reclaimed plastic, and 50 percent reclaimed wood.  These materials would otherwise go unsued in landfills. Using sustainable materials and green manufacturing processes is a policy of the manufacturer.

Recycling Facts:

• Trex keeps some 300,000 tons of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills every year.  That amounts to about 600,000,000 pounds saved annually.
• NO TREES ARE CUT DOWN for the purpose of making Trex.  Our wood comes from: reclaimed wood from woodworking operations, used pallets, and sawdust (300 mllion pounds a year)
• Trex recycles all forms of polyethylene.
• Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the United States.
• 7 out of every 10 recycled grocery bags in the U.S. end up at Trex (about 1.5 billion per year)
• The manufacturing processing method eliminates smokestacks, factory runoff/refuse is recycled back into the manufacturing line.
• As much as possible Trex packaging is made from recycled paper and plastic.
