In conjunction with Rutgers University, Axion has developed composite plastics technology utilizing 100% recycled plastic; Axion′s structural products have the distinct advantage of being environmentally friendly as well as providing superior products to customers. The Company′s products address the increasing worldwide environmental concerns for deforestation coupled with the specific goals for recycling, reducing greenhouse gases and manufacturing products without toxic materials. Axion′s products last up to 10 times longer than conventional creosote treated or pressure treated wooden ties and bridges, offering significant cost savings in maintenance and product replacement, and have freedom from biological attack (including termites and mold), and moisture. Axion products are inert and do not leach hazardous elements into the environment. Axion International CEO Jim Kerstein stated, "This order for a tank bridge at Fort Bragg validates the success of the bridge located in Fort Leonard Wood which was constructed in 1998 using our first generation technology. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers strongly supports our innovative plastic composite bridge due in part to their assessment that the Fort Leonard Wood Bridge has had virtually no maintenance and still looks like new nine years later."
