Trex Welcomes Charter Next Generation (Cng) As Corporate Sponsor of Nationwide Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge
Learning to recycle just got more rewarding for K-12 students nationwide, who now have the chance to win a cash prize for their school by participating in the Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge. Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, today announced the program’s first-ever financial rewards for top recyclers, made possible through a corporate sponsorship by Charter Next Generation (CNG), one of the leading providers of specialty polyethylene films in North America. CNG’s sponsorship aims to broaden adoption of the recycling program among schools nationwide and increase the overall amount of plastic film material recycled and upcycled into Trex’s world-famous composite decking.
Now in its 15th year, the annual competition challenges students to collect and recycle as much polyethylene plastic film as possible over a six-month period between America Recycles Day (Nov. 15) and Earth Day (April 22). Aside from earning an A+ for their schools by learning to give new life to discarded plastic film, top-performing schools can win high-performance Trex products for their campuses and, for the first time ever, cash prizes to use toward student education, supplies and programming, thanks to the partnership and generosity of CNG.
