REVOLUTIONARY NATURES COMPOSITES SUSTAINABLE EXTERIOR BUILDING PRODUCTS RECEIVE ICC-ES VERIFICATION
TORRINGTON, Wyo. - Natures Composites, a sustainable decking and fencing company that has revolutionized the industry by manufacturing decking and fencing products made from wheat straw and recycled plastics, announced it has received ICC-ES verification.
Sold under the product names "TerraFence" and "TerraDeck," the certification is proof that the company's products meet code requirements. As a technical resource for building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others, ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are used to ensure that products meet code requirements. As a leading independent nonprofit corporation, ICC-ES thoroughly examines product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure products are code compliant.
"The ICC-ESR 3176 approval validates our proprietary process using annually renewable wheat straw and recycled HDPE," said Kim Boos, National Sales Manager for Natures Composites. "By using our products, it's easy to reduce the carbon footprint, support local farmers, eliminate toxic chemicals and additives – all while meeting building code requirements."
Natures Composites is unique in the composites and lumber alternative market for using 94 percent rapidly renewable and reclaimed materials, including cellulose from wheat straw and recycled plastic. Benefits include stronger, longer-lasting, affordable, environmentally friendly fencing and decking material that better resists moisture, insects and sunlight with minimal maintenance required.
Natures Composites innovative use of highly renewable, locally sourced materials offers exceptional environmental benefits. Wheat straw, a byproduct of the agriculture industry, is put to productive use instead of wasted. Rather than wood, wheat is rapidly renewable, grown and harvested annually, and readily available from regional farmers.
Natures Composites sources its recycled plastic from nearby U.S. based recycling companies, providing a market for this growing supply stream. This combination of strong wheat fiber and recycled plastics ensures the product will not splinter or crack, and offers protection from elements including moisture, UV, insect and rot damage without having to use or apply harmful chemicals, paint, stain or sealant.
About Natures Composites With a 20-year warranty, Natures Composites materials are as easy to work with and install as natural wood. Natures Composites distributes products through retail and wholesale channels in North America and Europe. The company also holds a Bio-Preferred rating from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). For more information, including complete installation guidelines and product care, visit www.naturescomposites.com.
About ICC-ES ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council, a membership association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention that develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes developed by the International Code Council.

Eagle Industries, LLC, a well known domestic manufacturer of solid wood case goods, is proud to introduce our new line of outdoor composite furniture. Our "Bear River" collection offers a distinctive combination of innovation, style, and durability.
The collection includes a wide variety of tables, bars, stools, chairs, benches, plant stands, planter boxes, and accessory items. Our products are offered in a variety of earth-tone colors and are developed to be long lasting and resistant to fading, moisture, insects, and harmful effects of sunlight.
Through our involvement with organizations such as the Sustainable Furnishings Council, USDA, USGBC, and "Made In The USA", Eagle Industries is striving to expand our recognition as one of the few remaining domestic, "Eco-Friendly" furniture manufacturers.
Eagle Industries has partnered with Natures Composites, out of Torrington Wyoming, to provide us with a high quality, durable, and sustainable composite material. The USDA Bio Preferred composite material is developed by combining recycled HDPE plastic with wheat straw. The combination of wheat straw and recycled plastics ensure that the product will not splinter or crack, and can be cut, drilled, or processed the same as similar wood products.
The development of partnerships with domestic companies such as Natures Composites will help us continue our goal of promoting "American Manufacturing" while reducing any long lasting effects on the environment.
The unique combination of utilizing a renewable agriculture byproduct, reducing the amount of plastics headed for our landfills, and developing a high quality, competitively priced line of outdoor furniture is a huge win for the American consumer and the environment in which we live.
We will be expanding our commercial and residential lines in the fall of 2011 to include a variety of new items to complement our product groups. The expansion into the outdoor furniture market will allow Eagle Industries to offer a variety of value priced, domestically built, quality products to a wider range of retail and commercial consumers.
You can check out the "Bear River" collection on our website at www.eagle-ind.com or on facebook at www.facebook.com/eagleindustries.
