Recycling Facts

NO TREES ARE CUT DOWN for
 
the purpose of making Trex.

Our wood comes from:

  • Reclaimed wood
    from wood working
    operations
  • Sawdust
    (200 million lbs.
    per year)
 
Supportive Plan Why Trex Recycling Facts
 

Trex keeps some 400 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills every year.

 

Our manufacturing process is as green as our final product.

  • Trex trailers used to transport
    wood dust utilize vegetable-
    based oil hydraulics
  • Our proprietary processing
    method eliminates smokestacks
  • Factory run-off/refuse is
    recycled back into the
    manufacturing line
 

Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S.

  • 3.1 billion recycled grocery bags were collected for use to manufacture Trex products in 2010.
 

Trex gets a little "green" help from friends.

  • We regularly seek out third-party
    audits to make sure we're
    continuously improving our green
    practices while meeting all
    environmental, health and safety
    guidelines and regulations.
