Trex Company [NYSE:TREX] has launched the NexTrex® Plastic Recycling Drop-Off Directory, a nationwide online searchable platform connecting eco-conscious Americans with local plastic film recycling partners. This initiative addresses the challenge of recycling plastic bags and film, which cannot be processed in regular curbside recycling bins.

The directory includes approximately 10,000 drop-off locations across all 50 states, making it easier for individuals to responsibly dispose of plastic film waste. Trex, a leading manufacturer of composite decking, uses recycled polyethylene plastic as a core ingredient in its products, which are made from up to 95% recycled and reclaimed materials.

As one of North America's largest recyclers of PE film, Trex reclaims over 300 million pounds of discarded plastic annually. The company has diverted more than 5 billion pounds of PE film from landfills and waterways over the past 30 years, demonstrating the viability of plastic recycling when done properly.

These colors combine affordability with advanced performance, previously only available in higher-priced Trex offerings.

Trex Enhance decking, introduced in 2019, is engineered to compete with wood while offering the durability and low maintenance of Trex products. Made from 95% recycled material, it features a scalloped profile for lighter weight and easier installation. The new colors reflect UV rays, keeping boards cooler than most other composite decking products. All Trex Enhance boards come with a 25-year Residential and Fade & Stain Warranty.
