Marketwired
Trex is the Brand of Choice Among Green Builder Readers, Five Years Running

Trex has done it again. And again -- and again! For the fifth year in a row, the world's leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products has proven its industry leadership by receiving top honors from one of the industry's most respected reader surveys -- Green Builder Media's 2016 Reader's Choice Awards. Underscoring the brand's leadership and preference among eco-friendly architects, builders and contractors, the publication's readership selected Trex decking as the "greenest" in the industry.

"Providing eco-friendly decking and other outdoor living products is at the core of our business and values," noted Jim Cline, president and CEO of Trex. "Being recognized as the 'green' leader in the industry by Green Builder once again this year confirms that our customers -- both contractors and consumers -- understand the importance of environmentally conscious building."

Greenest Decking

Built on green principles and values, Trex products offer a truly environmentally responsible choice to consumers. As the largest polyethylene plastic recycler in the United States, Trex turns commercial and household plastics like newspaper sleeves and sandwich bags into eco-friendly outdoor living products. In addition, Trex salvages and keeps more than 400 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills each year. 

The entire high-performance Trex decking portfolio -- including Trex Transcend®, Trex Enhance® and Trex Select®  -- is manufactured from more than 95 percent recycled and reclaimed materials, an achievement confirmed through the International Code Council Evaluation Service® (ICC-ES) SAVE Verification for Recycled Content. In fact, Trex was the first company in the wood-alternative decking category to receive such distinction. 

Unprecedented Accolades

Green Builder Media's 2016 Reader's Choice Award is the latest in an impressive run for the company. In 2015, Trex was recognized with awards and honors from virtually every aspect of the building industry, including:

The February issue of Green Builder magazine will include comprehensive data from the 2016 Reader's Choice Awards.
