Recycling Facts

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

Our wood comes from:

  • Reclaimed wood
    from wood working
    operations
  • Sawdust
    (300 million lbs.
    per year)
  • Used pallets

Trex keeps some 300,000 tons of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills every year.

  • That comes to about 600,000,000
    pounds saved annually

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.

  • 7 out of 10 recycled grocery
    bags in the U.S. end up at Trex
    (about 1.5 billion per year)

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.
