Why It's Good:

One of the first wood-mimicking composite decking materials on the market, it's also the most widely available in the US. Customize your own deck online with their interactive deck design tool. 

Why It's Green:

Trex contains about 50% recycled and reclaimed plastic, and 50% reclaimed wood and sawdust that would otherwise go into landfills. No trees are cut down to make Trex, and they recycle seven out of every ten plastic grocery bags used in this country. The average 500-square foot composite deck contains about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.The low-maintenance wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking requires no stain or preservatives, and its green manufacturing process further reduces its overall carbon footprint.

Prices vary by region and depend on length, width and color. Approximate price range per linear foot is $2.15-$2.75.
