Also in compliance with LEED v4 standards, Wildwood's EPD is scoped for cradle-to-gate. Wildwood is made in the U.S. at a facility that uses a closed-loop water system, preventing enough water to fill 5,300 Olympic-size swimming pools from ending up in the waste stream. The composite boards are made with at least 94 percent recycled materials, including both wood and plastic. With this approach, Fiberon saves more than one million trees from being cut down each year and recycles an average of 100 million pounds of plastic annually. While traditional wood cladding is pressure-treated with chemicals and requires regular refinishing, Wildwood never needs to be sanded, stained or painted, which supports healthier air quality throughout its lifetime. The durable composite core of Wildwood ensures exceptional resistance to rotting, cracking, insects and decay. Both the EPD and life cycle assessment can be found online.
