Trex Co., Winchester, Va., has become the first wood-alternative decking manufacturer to receive a verification of recycled content from the International Code Council Evaluation Service.

Trex received a Verification of Attributes Report (VAR-1011) under the Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation (SAVE) Program, providing independent, third-party confirmation that Trex products are manufactured with a minimum of 95.4% recycled content.

"Receiving verification on the recycled content of our products from an organization as respected and recognized as the ICC-ES creates additional credibility among both our professional partners and consumers," said Kyle Lancaster, director of technical services. "In a time when 'green washing' is a common term, this verification proves that Trex is the real deal in terms of our environmentally conscious products and practices."
