"We are proud to uphold the Winslow philosophy that what is good for the environment can also benefit shareholders and the general public," said Robert Matheny, Chief Executive Officer, Trex Company. "The success of Trex decking and railing demonstrates that you can be environmentally responsible, while offering homeowners a durable and attractive decking product with numerous lifestyle advantages."

Trex Co. turns millions of pounds of recycled and reclaimed plastic and reclaimed wood each year into Trex(R) decking and railing, a weather-resistant, splinter-free, low-maintenance option for decking. Most of the raw materials used to produce its deck materials come from recycled plastic grocery bags, reclaimed pallet wrap and reclaimed hardwood. Trex Co. purchases an estimated 300 million pounds of recycled or reclaimed polyethylene and approximately the same amount of hardwood sawdust each year that would otherwise end up in landfills. The company estimates that it receives about 50% of the recycled plastic grocery bags available on the market.

For more than a decade, Trex has defined the alternative decking category with products that create beautiful backyard spaces.
