Trex Company Launches New Community Recycling Challenge
29 8월 2023 - 11:00PM
Trex Company [NYSE: TREX] is making it even easier to be “green.”
The world’s #1 brand of wood-alternative decking and railing, and
leader in high-performance, low-maintenance, eco-friendly outdoor
living products, has revamped its popular NexTrex® Plastic Film
Recycling Challenge with a more streamlined structure that
simplifies the process and makes the program accessible to a
broader range of participants.
Launched August 28th, the updated NexTrex® Recycling Challenge
combines the company’s award-winning community and school recycling
programs and moves from a competition-driven model to a
self-initiated challenge. Additionally, Trex has made the process
easier and more equitable so more participants have the opportunity
to earn recognition and rewards for their recycling efforts. Under
the new structure, any participating organization that collects at
least 1,000 pounds of recycled plastic film during a 12-month
period qualifies to receive a composite bench from the Trex®
Outdoor Furniture™ Collection.
“As a company founded on eco-friendly values, Trex is committed
to educating and engaging the public in the responsible recycling
of plastic film,” explained Emily Whitacre, recycling programs
coordinator for Trex Company. “Over the past 16 years, our
partnerships with schools and community groups have become a
primary channel for sourcing this key ingredient for our products
and we want to make it as easy as possible for these like-minded
organizations to be part of our upcycling process.”
Built on eco-friendly values, Trex’s world-famous composite
decking is sustainably made from 95% recycled materials, including
a mix of industrial wood scrap and polyethylene (PE) plastic film
upcycled from common household items such as grocery/shopping bags,
sandwich bags, case overwrap, newspaper sleeves and more. Each
year, the company repurposes in excess of one billion pounds of
these reclaimed materials in the making of its outdoor living
products, including approximately 400 million pounds of plastic
film, making it one of the largest recyclers of PE in North
America.
“With the NexTrex program, you not only know where your recycled
plastic film is going but also how it will be used,” Whitacre
noted. “With the help of thousands of community partners across the
country, we are able to divert millions of pounds of plastic waste
each year from ending up in landfills and give it new life as
beautiful and sustainable Trex decking.”
Participating in the NexTrex Recycling Challenge is easy and
requires just five simple steps:
- Register on NexTrex.com to obtain access to the My Trex
Portal.
- Determine a 12-month collection time period (starting at any
time).
- Collect a minimum of 1,000 pounds of plastic film.
- Report recycling totals at my.trex.com.
- Deliver collected plastic film to a participating retailer (see

Trex provides all registered participants with up to three
collection bins along with promotional posters explaining the
program and displaying images of qualifying recyclable materials. A
complete list of qualifying materials, along with easy-to-navigate
educational resources are available at NexTrex.com, including an
animated video that provides an overview of the program and how it
works.
“We are eager to welcome returning and new participants into the
NexTrex program under this streamlined structure,” added Whitacre.
“It’s always inspiring to see the creativity, enthusiasm and
dedication these grassroots sustainability heroes bring to their
recycling efforts. Together, we can make a global impact on plastic
waste and create a greener future for everyone.”
