challenges in disposing of this wood, and we are proud to provide an efficient, environmentally conscious solution for this waste stream. Trex prioritizes sourcing wood with strong sustainability credentials to support responsible forest management and ensure material traceability. We work closely with our suppliers to validate and regularly update certification records, including Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification, Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. (AHMI) Verified Sustainable sourcing, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) program and other recognized standards. In addition, we incorporate end-of-life orchard wood into our products—material that would otherwise be discarded and for which no formal certification applies.
Trex obtains waste wood fiber in various forms from lumberyards, flooring and cabinet makers, and other wood processing companies to create our products. By using waste fiber as our raw material, we eliminate the need to purchase any virgin timber. We work closely with our suppliers to understand the origins and certifications of the virgin timber they purchase. We ask for details about the percentage of their wood that is certified sustainable and the specifics of those certifications. In 2025, an estimated 99% of the reclaimed wood we received came from certified sources and agricultural waste (see chart). Our Fernley, NV plant is a great example of circular sustainability because it is fully supplied by waste orchard trees that have reached the end of their productive life.
