RISE synthetic products, including RISE siding and RISE trim, are long-term durable wood replacement products that look and feel like real wood, but help preserve our environment because:
RISE takes its core material
from the more than
5 Billion
pounds of carpet that goes to
landfills every year.
RISE Products aren't made with ever-present PVC, the

to the world’s burden of dioxin, one of the most dangerous known
man-made carcinogens.
RISE products do not
contribute to the more than
1.4 Billion
tons of iron ore tailing wastes that are
generated annually worldwide.
RISE is part of the circular economy. Its products come from 94% recycled materials and re-purposed synthetic fibers and polymer waste, such as discarded carpeting and rugs, that would otherwise go to landfills. RISE helps preserve natural resources because its products:
Reduce the need to cut trees for wood-based siding.
Avoid the mining needed to support fiber cement products.
Shrink the amount of chemical refining for PVC siding and trim manufacturing.
In a 2022 article in The Journal of Cleaner Production, researchers indicate the U.S. is responsible for more than 50% of global carpet disposals and post-consumer carpet was estimated to be 3.2% of California’s landfill volume in 2020, according to the state’s governmental recycling monitor.
Replacing raw production materials with recycled carpet and rugs could offset up to 7.5 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, 2 kilotons of particulate matter that create negative respiratory effects, and 15 TJ of fossil fuel depletion. These research findings show that disposed carpets could be a critical, underused material.
