Made from recycled plastic milk jugs and reinforced by fiberglass, TriMax was used to construct the staging platforms at the new combined luge and bobsled track in place of pressure treated wood. "It took 1,000,000 recycled milk jugs to make the TriMax Structural Lumber used to construct the platforms at the combined luge and bobsled track," explains Mike Dahl, vice president, engineered products for U.S. Plastic Lumber Ltd. "The use of TriMax vs. traditional structural building products makes quite a significant impact on this nation's waste stream."

"The project required the use of a recycled plastic lumber (RPL) that would safely carry a commercial loading of 100 pounds per square foot," explains Keith Lashway, a professional engineer who is the director of the Environmental Management Investment Group at Empire State Development, New York's economic development organization, and was responsible for supervising the project on behalf of the State. "This kind of high strength, high modulus recycled plastic lumber was the clear answer to meet all of our requirements."

After a review of a variety of recycled plastic lumber materials, TriMax Structural Lumber was chosen to construct the platforms at the combined luge and bobsled track. TriMax was installed at the bobsled start/staging platform, at the women's luge start/staging platform, and at the combined luge/bobsled run's finish platform. The track measures nine-tenths of a mile and features more than 20 curves. It is predicted to be one of the fastest in the world, where athletes could reach speeds in excess of 90 mph.

"In addition," continues Lashway, "another important factor in the development of this project was the use of recycled plastic lumber as a 'green' building product that is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pressure-treated lumber. The use of RPL supports New York Governor George E. Pataki's position in promoting the use of building materials that limit pollution, minimize waste and encourage recycling."

Mr. Lashway has been involved for the last two years with the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) in the use of alternative green building materials such as recycled plastic lumber. "We want to demonstrate the feasibility of using high quality alternative building materials, such as recycled plastic lumber, for outdoor construction projects here in the state of New York," continues Lashway. "The combined luge and bobsled track for the Goodwill Games is the perfect high profile, highly visible project that affords us the opportunity to showcase these materials. This has been a great opportunity and I feel fortunate to have worked with the people in this new industry to make our vision a reality."
