Trex has been engineering what is next in sustainable outdoor living for more than 30 years. It started when the company’s founders saw the potential in materials destined for landfills and recognized that those materials could be transformed into beautiful, low-maintenance decking built to last for decades.
That founding vision has grown into something remarkable. Today, Trex is the number one most trusted composite decking brand and the largest manufacturer of high-performance, low-maintenance, sustainable composite decking and railing in the industry.
Built from What Others Leave Behind
At the heart of Trex’s business is a simple but powerful idea: take what would have been waste and make something worth keeping.
Trex composite decking is made from 95% recycled and reclaimed materials, combining reclaimed wood and polyethylene plastic film that would otherwise have ended up in landfills. Trex is also one of the largest recyclers of plastic film in North America, and since the company invented the composite decking category more than 30 years ago, it has recycled more than 5 billion pounds of plastic. That number continues to grow alongside Trex’s operations.
In 2021 alone, Trex repurposed over 1 billion pounds of reclaimed wood and polyethylene film, a milestone made possible in part through its long-standing partnership with The Home Depot.
A Partnership Rooted in Progress
Trex and The Home Depot have been partners since 2004, working together to put high-performance, sustainable decking into more hands while keeping plastic waste out of the waste stream. That partnership is a source of pride for Trex and a reflection of what is possible when retailers and manufacturers align around shared sustainability values.
When shoppers choose Trex products at The Home Depot, they are not just building an outdoor living space. They are participating in a circular economy that gives discarded materials a second life and helps preserve the natural spaces they want to enjoy.
Sustainability Woven into Every Operation
Trex’s commitment to the environment extends well beyond the materials in its products. The company recycles approximately 99% of the water used in its manufacturing operations and continues to work toward reducing energy usage and its overall climate impact.
That same care for the environment shows up in the design of Trex products. The woodgrain patterns and range of natural colors in Trex decking are inspired by nature, reflecting a brand that does not just talk about sustainability but builds it into everything it makes.
Keeping Progress Moving
Trex continues to invest in innovation that is gentler on the earth while delivering the high-performance results customers expect. As its operations grow, so does its capacity to recycle more, repurpose more and contribute more to a circular economy that benefits communities and the environment alike.
A Shared Commitment
Trex’s approach to business shows that sustainability and quality are not competing priorities. By turning plastic waste into composite decking that lasts for decades, Trex is helping to reduce landfill contributions, support responsible material use and make outdoor living more sustainable for everyone.
Together with The Home Depot, Trex is committed to building a better tomorrow, one deck at a time.
