Eco-conscious Recycled Decking from Trex - made from plastic bags

The manufacturers of Trex recycled decking help lighten the landfill load by using 100% eco-conscious materials: 50% recycled and reclaimed plastic and 50% reclaimed wood. According to the company web site, Trex is “one of largest plastic bag recyclers in the United States. … about 1.5 billion per year.” In addition, this environmentally responsible company powers their trailers with vegetable-based oil and recycles factory runoff back into the manufacturing process.

Trex recycled decking is also a safe, practical choice for your outdoor space. The product is smoother than wood, will not splinter, provides excellent traction and is soft underfoot. With a wide range of colors and the ability to create curves and patterns, Trex offers a strong, highly customizable decking solution. Their web site also includes an inspirational photo gallery and a comprehensive section on Deck Planning 101.
