ACRE IS A PRACTICAL
SOLUTION FOR
DEFORESTATION

It offers all of the warmth and beauty of rich tropical woods like ipe, teak and cedar with the low-maintenance convenience of composites. ACRE is the first wood alternative that is virtually indistinguishable from wood, allowing it to disrupt the status quo and create meaningful change.

We are proud to be a zero-waste, circular manufacturer. All scraps are recycled and returned product – and even the sawdust – is used to make new ACRE products. One pallet of ACRE saves an acre of tropical rainforest for exotic hardwoods like IPE and one tree or one pallet of the equivalent lumber for softwoods like southern yellow pine. In 2022 alone, those who chose ACRE products contributed to saving the equivalent of approximately 44,000 acres of tropical rainforest or 13,000 softwood trees.

Additionally in 2022, Modern Mill diverted over 4,000 tons of rice hulls that were destined for landfills. That’s approximately 1,100,000 cubic feet of space in a landfill or the equivalent of all one day’s garbage in the City of Cincinnati, Ohio.
