What Is TREX Decking?
Trex Wood-Polymer™ lumber that brings together some of the best properties of wood and plastic. Compared to conventional decking lumber, Trex decking offers so much more: outstanding durability without preservatives or sealants, workability that wood can't match, and an elegant natural coloring that stays looking great year after year.
What's In TREX Decking?
Trex decking is made from reclaimed & recycled materials. There are two "ingredients" in Trex decking - waste wood fiber and reclaimed plastics, such as grocery sacks and stretch film

| TREX Decking Composition
To make Trex Wood Polymer lumber, approximately equal amounts of waste wood fiber and reclaimed plastic are combined. The wood fiber comes primarily from woodworking operations, while the plastic material is reclaimed mainly from stretch film and grocery sacks. During the "mixing" of these elements, the plastic actually surrounds and protects the individual wood fibers, giving Trex decking many of its superior weather-resistant properties.
Trex decking contains no virgin wood or virgin plastics. No preservatives or treatments are added during its manufacture. In addition, Trex is completely recyclable after use through the Trex Recycling Program. |
