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)
- Used pallets
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.
