Recycling Is A Beautiful Thing
As one of the largest plastic film recyclers in the U.S., Trex recycling saves 1 billion+ pounds of plastic film and reclaimed wood from landfills each year.
- A standard 4.88 metre Trex board contains recycled material from approximately 2,250 plastic bags.
- The average 45 square-metre composite Trex deck contains more than 140,000 recycled plastic bags, films, and wraps.
- The entire high-performance Trex decking portfolio is manufactured using more than 95% recycled content.
In addition to contributing to a healthier environment, our earth friendly recycled decking also contributes to your LEED points—not to mention your good karma. Trex products contribute up to five LEED points to any structure. Learn about Trex and the LEED Green Building Rating System™.
Created in part by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is a point-based system designed to honour building projects that incorporate efficient, cost-effective and safe eco-friendly products. Trex products can add up to five points to your project—four points in the Materials and Resources category for being composed of up to 95% recycled materials, and one point in the Innovation and Design category.
