RECOGNIZED AS A WINNER IN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING’S 2023 SUSTAINABLE
INNOVATION AWARDS (Graphic: Business Wire)
The Good Housekeeping Sustainable Innovation Awards recognize
brands that are producing products in smarter, more sustainable
ways, offering innovative solutions that simplify making greener
choices at home and support homeowners in living a more sustainable
life.
“This decking proved extremely durable and low-maintenance in
our tests, thanks to TimberTech’s material science expertise and
capped-polymer technology,” says Dan DiClerico, director of the
Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab at the Good Housekeeping
Institute. DiClerico also noted that TimberTech’s decking is one of
the most aesthetically pleasing wood-alternative decking products
to have come through Good Housekeeping Labs.
The game-changing low-maintenance decking solution for outdoor
living spaces, TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking by AZEK delivers a
realistic wood look with unparalleled performance. Plus, it is
sustainably made from approximately 60% recycled content – by far
the highest percentage of recycled content available in the PVC
decking market today – making it more environmentally sustainable
over its lifecycle than both composite decking and traditional wood
decking, including exotic hardwoods like Ipe, according to the
results of our life cycle assessment studies. TimberTech’s Advanced
PVC Decking features unbeatable moisture resistance, fade
resistance, and a barefoot-friendly surface that is splinter free
and slip-resistant. Also a better choice for fire zones,
TimberTech’s Advanced PVC collections pass tests for slowing flame
spread, offering a Class A Flame Spread Rating, WUI compliance, or
both. The TimberTech Advanced PVC line is manufactured with
post-industrial and post-consumer waste such as old vinyl siding
from homes, PVC pipe and window trim and is recyclable through
AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE Recycling program at end-of-life.
“It is an honor to have TimberTech Advanced PVC decking
recognized by Good Housekeeping as a leader in both innovation and
sustainability. Engineered using mainly recycled plastics to
deliver an unrivaled combination of real-wood aesthetics,
durability and low-maintenance, TimberTech products are backed by
leading warranties and outperform wood every time,” said Sam Toole,
AZEK’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Not only have our products saved
the equivalent of three million trees since 2001, but together with
our parent company, AZEK, we diverted approximately 500 million
pounds of scrap and waste from landfills in fiscal year 2022 alone.
We have a goal to use one billion pounds of waste and scrap each
year by the end of 2026, and the recognition from independent
organizations like Good Housekeeping further validate that we can
and will revolutionize our industry to create a more sustainable
future.”
The Good Housekeeping Institute Labs pros and sustainability
field experts evaluated product submissions on energy, water, and
waste reductions, recycled content, and recyclability as well as
corporate social responsibility efforts, and more. Over the span of
several months, the products were also tested firsthand on factors
like ease of use, comfort, durability, and product efficacy during
intended use to ensure that they would perform in real life. The
