Today, consumers are increasingly choosing more sustainable products. Since our inception, Trex products have been designed with sustainability in mind. Using innovative recycling methods, we transform recycled plastic film and reclaimed wood into beautiful outdoor decking products. Learn more about how we source the recycled and reclaimed raw materials for our products below.
Upcycling Materials
Recycled Plastic
Our company partners with corporations, retail stores, consumers and others to proactively capture unwanted waste plastic film and upcycle it into beautiful Trex decking. In 2023, we sourced more than 320 million pounds of plastic film slated for landfill.
Reclaimed Wood
To produce our award-winning decking, we also use reclaimed wood, including wood fiber and orchard waste wood. We partner with wood product manufacturers to capture their waste. In 2023, we sourced nearly 516 million pounds of reclaimed wood fiber for our products.
Product Circularity
We make it a priority to build durability and materials efficiency into our products and processes. This includes ongoing R&D to study new sources of used plastic film and waste wood.
