Axion International Holdings, Inc., received a purchase order from a major West Coast based transit line. The purchase order calls for approximately $377,000 in switch ECOTRAX 100 percent recycled ties for 26 turnouts.

 

“We are extremely excited about this particular order, as it provides us with the chance to make one of the largest West Coast transit railroads more sustainable with our products,” said Cory Burdick, global manager ECOTRAX Rail Division of Axion. “After the successful completion of one year in-track testing, our ECOTRAX Rail Ties have demonstrated ability to provide long-term value over other tie alternatives. This order will recycle over 350,000 pounds of plastic that would otherwise end up in our oceans or landfills and are completely recyclable after their useful life, making our ECOTRAX ties a completely closed loop sustainable product.”
