AXION International is changing the world in which we live. Our ECOTRAX™ Composite Railroad Ties and STRUXURE™ Composite Infrastructure Products are made from 100% recycled material. Using our patented formula, our products keep literally tons of plastic bottles and waste from ending up in oceans and landfills. Economically and environmentally savvy, AXION products can be found in bridge and railway infrastructure projects around the world. They install quickly, using traditional methods, and are virtually impervious to the elements. They will not rust, splinter, crumble, rot, absorb moisture or leach toxic chemicals into the environment. AXION products are completely impervious to infestation by insects, marine borers and other marine parasites. Requiring virtually no maintenance, they yield a dramatically lower total lifetime cost.
