Rather than being tossed in a landfill, these items are crafted into high-quality boards. Sawdust, old wood pallets, wood chips, and wood fiber are frequently used to create Trex composite boards, as are plastic bags, plastic wrap, and packing films. The patented process for creating these boards includes recycling spent sawdust and other wood waste, combining it with used plastic, and a binding agent to create gorgeous boards for decks, docks, and other outdoor projects. In 1996, Trex changed the decking with wood-thermoplastic composite boards, known simply as composite decking boards. To learn more about Trex decking, consult with an expert at The Deck Store.
