Through rigorous expert evaluation, the program provides companies with vetted products and proven projects that drive meaningful improvements in sustainability and energy management.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe winners of this year\u2019s E+E Leader Awards are tackling some of the most pressing sustainability and energy challenges with real-world, scalable solutions,\u201d said Sarah Roberts, Co-President of E+E Leader and C-Suite Compass LLC. \u201cThese projects and products push industry standards forward and are setting new benchmarks for innovation and impact.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cEvery year, our judges look to recognize the businesses that are truly moving the needle and striving for sustainability and operational efficiency,\u201d added Kay Harrison, VP and head of the E+E Leader Awards program. \u201cThis year\u2019s winners exemplify the kind of forward-thinking strategies and technologies that companies need to stay ahead in an increasingly complex energy and environmental landscape.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Sustainability at Its Core<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nTrex composite decking was invented more than 30 years ago as a way to give new life and enhanced value to something otherwise considered as waste \u2013 discarded plastic bread bags. Today, the company continues to make its world-renowned decking using a proprietary mix of recycled polyethylene plastic film and reclaimed wood scrap, which accounts for up to 95% of the material in its decking products. Each year, Trex diverts hundreds of millions of pounds of polyethylene film, bags and wrap from landfills, making it one of the largest recyclers of plastic film packaging in North America. Since its inception, the company has upcycled in excess of five billion pounds of plastic waste.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cTrex demonstrates clear impact on diverting plastic waste from landfill and transitioning into a second life product,\u201d noted another E+E judge in their evaluation.\n<\/p>\n \nTrex is also committed to improving energy efficiency, reducing waste and conserving water across its operations. For instance, the company uses vegetable oil instead of petroleum-based fluids in some hydraulic systems and prioritizes processing water reuse in closed loop systems, thereby lowering its consumption of water. Additionally, the company utilizes bi-coastal factories to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and works closely with suppliers to reduce environmental impact across the supply chain.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cOver the past three decades, Trex has dedicated itself to building a legacy of trust with our customers by delivering not only industry-leading products but also an unwavering commitment to sustainability,\u201d stated Amy Fernandez, Chief Legal Officer and Head of Sustainability for Trex Company. \u201cThis recognition is particularly meaningful because it reinforces trust among consumers seeking sustainable solutions for their homes and helps to guide their decision making.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nIn addition to the E+E Leader Award, Trex has earned several other environmental accolades this year. For the second consecutive year, the company was included on Barron\u2019s list of the \u201c100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies<\/a>.\u201d Trex was also named the \u201cSustainable Brand Leader<\/span>\u201d for the decking category by the readers of Green Builder magazine, a title it has held for the past 15 years. Additionally, the brand\u2019s newly updated Trex Select\u00ae<\/sup> decking<\/a> was recognized by the editorial staff of Green Builder Media as one of the 50 most \u201cSustainable Products of the Year<\/span>.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cAt Trex, sustainability is not just a buzzword \u2013 it\u2019s a founding principle of our company and a core value that we live and breathe every day,\u201d Fernandez added. \u201cEven as our business expands, we remain focused on creating positive change in the world by innovating to reduce our environmental footprint.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nFor more information about Trex\u2019s eco-friendly outdoor living products, visit Trex.com<\/a>.
