TimberTech Products and Processes Conserve the Environment

    TimberTech Press Room
    Wilmington, OH - Now, more than ever, contractors, homeowners, builders and architects are making conscious efforts to use environmentally friendly products. TimberTech--an innovator in the wood composite industry--recognizes the importance of adhering to environmentally friendly manufacturing practices while maintaining the company's own high quality specifications.

    Like other wood composites, all TimberTech decking and railing products contain recycled wood materials. TimberTech uses a wood bi-product from the cabinet and hardwood floor industries to create ground wood flour that is combined with virgin plastic to extrude decking and railing products. The end result is a more standardized, durable product with less defects and a longer life cycle.

    "Homeowners don't want to waste time painting, sealing or staining their outdoor living spaces. TimberTech decking and railing is used for building beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor living spaces that homeowners can enjoy," said Carey Walley, Marketing Manager for TimberTech. "TimberTech is committed to conserving the environment. Our products begin the manufacturing process as recycled materials that would otherwise fill up landfills, and any product we manufacture that does not pass our high quality control standards is reintroduced into the manufacturing process, resulting in zero disposal of wood product."

    The company also follows other environmentally friendly practices. The entire plant runs on a closed loop design in which the water is recycled and returns back into the manufacturing process.

    Last year, TimberTech decking and railing was used in a green project for the Recycling Waste Center in Alameda County, California. The organization was challenged to focus on improving environmental quality, reduce maintenance and decrease operating costs, while creating an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. The "Green Building" group within the agency selected TimberTech and rated the product as a great choice.

    "We were looking for an alternative to traditional wood, a resource friendly product," said Susan Katchee of the Alameda County Waste Management Authority Board. "TimberTech has the durability, and it's a sustainable building product."

    All TimberTech decking and railing products are backed by a 25-year limited warranty. To receive a free TimberTech brochure or to find a local TimberTech dealer, call 800-307-7780 or visit www.timbertech.com for more information.
