Modern Mill, the manufacturer of ACRE
, an eco-friendly wood alternative, is proud to announce that ACRE has been named a 2025 Sustainable Product of the Year by Green Builder Magazine for the second time.
This prestigious award recognizes home products that exemplify sustainability through innovative design and energy-efficient construction. ACRE previously received this honor in 2022, reinforcing its position as a leader in sustainable building materials.
ACRE is made in the USA and crafted from upcycled rice hulls in a zero-waste manufacturing environment. It offers the warmth and beauty of real wood without the environmental impact. With a 100% tree-free and recyclable composition, ACRE addresses deforestation concerns while delivering the beauty of wood with the durability and low maintenance of composites. ACRE is suitable for a wide range of applications, including siding, trim, decking, and more.
“Modern Mill is committed to creating sustainable building materials that not only meet the aesthetic and functional needs of our customers but also contribute positively to the environment,” said Kim Guimond, CMO of Modern Mill. “Winning this award again in 2025 reinforces our mission to make the built environment healthier for both people and the planet.”
In 2024 alone, choosing ACRE helped save over 6,000 acres of tropical rainforest, the equivalent of 4,500 football fields, preserved more than 17,000 softwood trees, and diverted 2.5 million pounds of rice hulls from landfills. ACRE is also making healthier living spaces more accessible: it’s manufactured without phenol, formaldehyde, adhesives, VOCs, or forever chemicals, making it a safe, sustainable choice for both interior and exterior applications.
