“We are honored to have not one, but two AZEK product innovations recognized as sustainable products of the year by Green Builder,” said Jesse Singh, CEO of The AZEK Company. “When it comes to innovation, beauty, performance and sustainability, AZEK is leading the way forward with its unparalleled portfolio of wood-alternative outdoor living and home exterior products, including its award-winning TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking and Captivate Pre-Finished Siding & Trim. Builders and homeowners alike are increasingly interested in purchasing and installing products that have a lower impact on the environment. When they choose AZEK products, our customers are able to create outdoor spaces that are inspired by nature, manufactured with recycled waste and scrap material that most others cannot or do not want to use, and sustainably engineered to last beautifully.”
TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking
Delivering TimberTech’s best aesthetics and engineered for performance, the Advanced PVC Decking line is the game-changing low-maintenance decking solution for outdoor living spaces. 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.

AZEK Exteriors Captivate Pre-Finished Siding & Trim
Launched in 2022, Captivate is a new line of prefinished siding and trim developed in collaboration with our finishing partner Russin®. Captivate uniquely combines AZEK’s engineered polymers and PaintPro® technology surface prep with Russin’s automated high-tech painting technology and environmentally controlled curing. The result: A product that is naturally resistant to water and ultra low-maintenance with a finish superior to anything painted in the field. Made from approximately 30% post-consumer and/or post-industrial recycled PVC material, the Captivate line includes a range of siding and trim profiles complementary to a variety of architectural design styles, including shingle siding that duplicates the look of natural painted cedar shingles, board and batten siding for either accent areas or an entire elevation, and dozens of trim profiles for a complete, finished look. Consistent with other products offered by AZEK Exteriors, Captivate is specially designed to provide a premium product able to withstand the elements with lifetime limited and 15-year paint performance warranties. In addition, it was designed to be recyclable at the end of its useful life through AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE Recycling program. For more information, visit azekexteriors.com/captivate.
