TimberTech is manufactured with an average of 51% recycled content.

TimberTech uses 107 million pounds of post industrial wood flour and post consumer plastic annually to make TimberTech products. To maintain optimal product performance, we strive for the perfect balance between recycled and virgin plastics to maintain the quality you’ve come to expect from TimberTech.

More than 28 million pounds of product scrap is reclaimed into our manufacturing process each year, which saves even more wood and plastic waste from reaching landfills.

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.

TimberTech DeckLites utilizes low-voltage light bulbs, which are more energy efficient than regular bulbs.

Our product cartons are made with 43% recycled material fibers and meet SFI (Sustainability Forestry Initiative) sourcing requirements.

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 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.
