SPRINGDALE, Ark. - Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc.'s (OTCBB:AERT)
MoistureShield® decking was recently recognized as one of "The Hot 50 Green Building Products for 2011" by the editors of GreenBuilder Magazine based on products featured at the latest Greenbuild Expo. MoistureShield® is a certified green product under VAR-1015.

"We have been partners with AERT for several years and have experienced double digit growth with MoistureShield® decking even during the recession. We proudly featured the MoistureShield® 'green' decking line at our recent Northeast LBM Expo at Foxwood's in Connecticut," stated Holbrook Lumber CEO, Peter Krihak. "Not only did it help us win the best booth award, our customers really appreciate its functionality, real wood look, and value."

BlueLinx Corporation's Outdoor Living Category Manager, Shannon Truax, stated, "BlueLinx is dedicated to providing our customers with green products to meet an industry growing demand for products that are easy on our earth's treasured natural resources. MoistureShield® decking and railing products are made from 95% pre- and post-consumer recycled content and positions AERT as an industry leader in using technology to efficiently utilize recycled materials in their manufacturing process.
AERT continues to be a valued supplier and their line of MoistureShield® decking and railing products provide BlueLinx with valuable products for its growing its portfolio of green products."

With AERT patented technology providing total encapsulation of wood fibers, MoistureShield® decking allows contractor installation and design advantages allowing installation applications in full ground or water contact (unlike competitive products) without voiding the limited lifetime warranty. Adding to its durability and versatility, MoistureShield decking is reversible and available in eight fade resistant colors and with or without grooves for hidden fastening systems.

According to AERT Vice President Brent Gwatney, "MoistureShield® decking offers better durability than competitive products, without compromising its aesthetics and real wood look. MoistureShield® is made in the USA and also offers true value for our customers' hard earned purchasing dollars; up to 30% less than PVC (vinyl) products and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making it the ideal choice for dealers and contractors. The word is spreading, sales are growing, and we sincerely appreciate the independent recognition of GreenBuilder magazine."

"Satisfied customers are our best advertising," stated Gwatney.
