world – one piece at a time.
world – one piece at a time.
TimberTech has the perfect balance of quality and sustainability. Our decking, railing and fencing products are an attractive, low-maintenance alternative to wood and a one-time purchase for most homeowners. Since TimberTech products will not splinter or warp and don’t require any staining or sealing, the wasteful cycle of repair and replacement typical of wood is dramatically reduced.
TimberTech creates products with the environment in mind:
- No trees are cut down for the purpose of making TimberTech products.
- Our wood flour is recycled from the woodworking industry and keeps more than 100 million pounds of wood waste out of landfills each year.
- More than 28 million pounds of scrap product is reclaimed and put back into our manufacturing process each year, which saves even more wood and plastic waste from reaching landfills.
- Our DeckLites® lighting system utilizes low-voltage bulbs, which are more energy efficient than regular bulbs.
TimberTech strives to act responsibly in our daily operations:
- Our product brochures are printed on paper with 30% recycled fibers using soy-based inks.
- Product cartons are made with 25% recycled material.
- The water in our manufacturing facilities is recycled using a closed loop water system. Reusing the water in our plants saves over 140,000 gallons every day.
- We use natural light and energy-efficient bulbs to save energy.
- We ship many products by railcar. One railcar carries a load equivalent to four tractor-trailer trucks, which in turn keeps about 500 trucks off the road each year.
- We recycle our skids and corrugate.
TimberTech is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council. This coalition of leaders from the building industry works to transform the way communities are built and strives to create a socially responsible environment that improves quality of life.
