Environmental Benefits
ProWood® ACQ is safe for you and the environment. Pressure-treated wood like ProWood ACQ uses renewable resources. Over 1.7 billion trees are planted per year—that's five trees for every American. Steel, concrete, and plastic building materials, on the other hand, are not renewable and take a lot of energy to produce.

Global Warming
By using ProWood ACQ treated lumber products instead of other materials like plastic or steel, you are aiding in the fight against global warming. Less energy is being used, therefore less greenhouse gas is being emitted into the air.
Saves Petroleum
Using ProWood ACQ pressure-treated wood instead of steel, concrete, or plastic saves as much as 32 million barrels of petroleum each year—enough to drive a million cars around the world.
Saves Trees
Using treated lumber like ProWood ACQ extends the wood resource. In North America each year, using pressure-treated wood saves as many as 226,000,000 trees from being harvested. That's enough lumber to build 435,000 homes.
Proven Performance
Pressure-treated lumber has been used throughout the world for decades.
Protects Habitat
Boardwalks, hiking trails, bridges, and seawalls built from pressure-treated lumber products like ProWood ACQ help to protect fragile habitats around the world.
Preserves Delicate Systems
Many ocean-front communities preserve delicate sand dune systems by building pedestrian crossover walkways out of pressure-treated wood.
Recyclable
Once taken out of service, ACQ treated lumber can be reused as landscaping, garden edging, steps or many other popular projects.
Produced from Tree Farms
Like all of our pressure-treated lumber products, ProWood ACQ is produced from plentiful, fast-growing species of trees from managed forest land. It does not come from old growth or rain forests.
