Trex® Responsible Manufacturing
We transform waste materials into durable and attractive decking through manufacturing processes that reduce our environmental impacts across emissions, energy, water and waste. When we invest in new facilities, we seize the opportunity to build in our sustainability principles — for example at our new facility in Little Rock, AR.
How We Operate
Energy and Emissions
We design Trex facilities to run efficiently with a focus on installing the best available energy-saving equipment and increasing transportation efficiency. We extend this focus to transport, selecting efficient trucking logistics, reducing truck idling time and using rail where possible.
Waste and Recycling
We minimise waste at the source and recycle nearly all our scrap and plastic packaging back into the manufacturing process for our composite decking.
Water Use
Water is a precious resource to be conserved and protected from pollution. We use closed-loop recirculation systems at our Virginia and Nevada facilities, recycling nearly all of the process water.
