Feature Friday: Trex Company Even though winter is upon us, we can still dream of those lazy summer days, lounging on our patios. Trex Company, Inc. strives to build an alternative to traditional wood decks and railings, which can splinter and deteriorate after so many years. You may be thinking—oh, another plastic-type deck? Well, not exactly. Trex is the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing—meaning that it turns commercial and household plastics such as newspaper sleeves, sandwich bags an case overwraps into eco-friendly outdoor living products. Founded in 1996, the company calls Winchester, Va. Home and employs 404 area workers. The company receives the reusable materials from the nation’s largest grocery and retail chains, as well as community-based recycling programs that Trex sponsors. The materials are combined with wood scrap and sawdust to create stronger outdoor living products. For more information on expanding your living space in an ecological way check out trex/.
