\nDecking Leader Recognized by Green Builder Media for its Commitment to Sustainability
\n<\/h2>\n

WINCHESTER, Va., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — They say good things come in threes. That is certainly true for Trex\u00ae<\/sup>, the world\u2019s largest manufacturer of high-performance wood-alternative decking and railing, which has been recognized by Green Builder Media with three distinct honors \u2013 all related to the company\u2019s sustainable products and practices. For the 11th<\/sup> consecutive year, Trex has been named the \u201cgreenest\u201d decking in the industry<\/u> by the readers of Green Builder magazine. Amplifying this unparalleled achievement, Trex also received the highest score for decking in the Green Builder Media Brand Index<\/u>. Demonstrating that Trex\u2019s commitment to sustainability goes beyond its world-famous decking, Green Builder also honored the company\u2019s Signature<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> Railing<\/a> as one of its \u201cHot 50 Products\u201d for 2021<\/u>, rounding out a trifecta of triumph that has left the competition \u201cgreen\u201d with envy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past 30 years, our commitment to producing eco-friendly outdoor living products has never wavered,\u201d said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing for Trex. \u201cBeing honored as the \u2018greenest decking\u2019 is a title we\u2019ve worked hard to achieve and hold. It\u2019s also rewarding to see our other products being recognized for their sustainability and preference among the discriminating green building community.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the longest-running and most respected studies in the green building industry, the Green Builder Readers\u2019 Choice Survey uncovers what green building professionals perceive to be the most sustainable products, materials and brands. Since the program began in 2009, Trex is the only composite decking manufacturer to hold the title of \u201cgreenest decking,\u201d underscoring the brand\u2019s leadership and strong preference among eco-conscious architects, builders and contractors.<\/p>\n

Trex also maintained its position year-over-year as the top scorer in the decking category of the Green Builder Media Brand Index, which launched last year. Designed to evaluate brand position in the marketplace, the Brand Index integrates purchase preferences, brand sentiment and reader data merging macro market trends from COGNITION Smart Data with micro user-specific results from the Readers\u2019 Choice survey. Based on these combined factors, the award recognizes the most sustainable, innovative, highest performing brands across a wide spectrum of building product categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe readers of Green Builder are progressive early-adopters and influencers in their communities,\u201d noted Adkins. \u201cThis recognition reinforces that our products and our company\u2019s core values continue to resonate with those who understand the importance of environmentally conscious building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded on green principles, Trex produces eco-friendly decking<\/a> and outdoor living products that are designed to last. The entire high-performance Trex decking portfolio<\/a> \u2013 including Trex Transcend\u00ae<\/sup>, Trex Select\u00ae <\/sup>and Trex Enhance\u00ae <\/sup>\u2013 is manufactured from 95% recycled materials, including a combination of reclaimed wood and polyethylene plastic film (recycled from industrial packaging as well as common household items such as grocery bags, newspaper sleeves and bubble wrap). Furthermore, Trex uses a proprietary manufacturing process that is as green as its final product.<\/p>\n
