For more than 30 years, Trex has invented, reinvented and defined the composite decking category. Today, we are the world’s #1 brand of wood-alternative decking, a leader in high performance, low-maintenance, eco-friendly outdoor living products for the residential market, and a leading provider of custom-engineered commercial railing and staging systems.

Considered America’s Most Trusted® Outdoor Decking, Trex opened its first production lines in Virginia in 1993 with 36 employees and now has more than 1,700 employees across corporate and manufacturing facilities in Virginia, Nevada and Arkansas. Trex also has built the industry’s strongest distribution network and has earned unsurpassed channel placement with products sold through more than 6,700 retail outlets across six continents.

Industry-Leading Brand & Portfolio
Trex® offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance outdoor living products that are beautiful, durable, low-maintenance and sustainable. In addition to our world-famous composite decking, our industry-leading product line-up includes railing, deck drainage, LED lighting, outdoor kitchen components, pergolas, spiral stairs, fencing, lattice, outdoor furniture and fire features – all marketed under the Trex® brand.

Unlike wood, high-performance Trex decking resists fading, scratching and mold – and won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter. Thanks to a proprietary shell, low-maintenance Trex decking never needs sanding, staining or painting. Just an occasional soap-and-water cleaning is all that’s needed to retain a like-new appearance.

Upcycling through Recycling
Trex decking also offers a truly environmentally responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers. The entire line-up of high-performance Trex decking is sustainably made from up to 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood fiber and recycled polyethylene plastic from commercial packaging and common household items, such as case overwraps, sandwich bags, newspaper sleeves and grocery bags. Each year, the company saves more than 1 billion pounds of these materials from winding up in landfills, and 100% of factory scrap is recycled back into our manufacturing process.

One of the largest recyclers of polyethylene film in North America, Trex has upcycled more than 5 billion pounds of plastic film over the past 30 years. As we expand our business, we are continually researching new sources of material to upcycle. We partner with major retailers, manufacturers and distribution centers to help them responsibly dispose of discarded plastic material used in packing and shipping. We also collect post-consumer plastic film through our NexTrex® program from a network of approximately 32,000 collection stations at stores and distribution centers across the U.S. and Canada.

Additionally, our school and community recycling programs are designed to spread awareness of the importance of recycling plastic bags and film while engaging people in grassroots collection and recycling. Schools and community groups involved in our programs collect waste polyethylene packaging and drop it off at the many local collection points Trex has established across the country. Since the start of these programs in 2011, more than 3.5 million pounds of plastic waste have been collected through community initiatives and recycled into beautiful, durable and sustainable Trex decking and outdoor living products.

Building a Better Tomorrow Together
In addition to engineering what’s next in outdoor living, Trex aims to operate a business with the highest standards of integrity and to make a positive difference in the communities where we operate. We support charitable organizations that serve our local communities through donations and volunteering events. We directly support nonprofits that cater to the most pressing needs of the communities where we work and live, with a focus on advancing educational and environmental initiatives as well as improving the lives of children.

Never content to settle, we continue to make strides in outdoor engineering, melding innovation with environmental responsibility and beautiful form with powerful function. At Trex, we believe in taking care of our employees, our customers and the environment and making a lasting positive impact on people and the planet with a focus on building a better tomorrow together.
