WINCHESTER, VA.—Founded on sustainable principles, Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance composite decking and outdoor living products, has long been considered a leader when it comes to sustainability. That reputation and track record were recently reinforced via three distinct honors from Green Builder Media—all related to the company’s sustainable products and practices.
For the 12th consecutive year, Trex has been named the “greenest” decking in the industry by the readers of Green Builder magazine. In addition to this unprecedented achievement, Trex once again received the highest score for decking in the Green Builder Media Brand Index. Rounding out a trifecta of accolades, Trex’s new Augmented Reality (AR) Decking Visualizer was named one of Green Builder’s 2022 “Sustainable Products of the Year.”
“For more than 30 years, Trex has been dedicated to creating products that are the best in the outdoor living industry without sacrificing our commitment to sustainability,” said Leslie Adkins, Vice President of Marketing and ESG development for Trex. “So, it is especially rewarding when our work and brand are recognized by green building experts and trade professionals who actively seek out high-quality, eco-friendly products for their projects.”
Green Builder Readers’ Choice Awards & Brand Index
One of the longest-running and most respected studies in the sustainable building industry, the Green Builder Readers’ Choice Survey uncovers what eco-conscious building professionals perceive to be the most sustainable products, materials and brands. Since the program’s inception in 2009, Trex is the only brand to hold the top spot in its category every year, reinforcing the brand’s leadership and strong preference among eco-conscious architects, builders, and contractors.
Trex also maintained its position year-over-year as the leader in the decking category of the Green Builder Media Brand Index, which launched last year. Designed to evaluate brand position in the marketplace, the Brand Index integrates purchase preferences, brand sentiment and reader data, merging macro market trends from COGNITION Smart Data with micro user-specific results from the Readers’ Choice survey. Based on these combined factors, the award recognizes the most sustainable, innovative, and highest performing brands across a wide spectrum of building product categories.
“The readers of Green Builder magazine are highly discerning when it comes to the building products they specify and use,” noted Adkins. “We are extremely proud that Trex has continued to be their top choice for sustainable decking 12 years running. This recognition reinforces that Trex’s earth-friendly composition and manufacturing processes are appreciated and preferred by green building professionals.”
