Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     Effective May 12, 2010, Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, Inc. (AERT) entered into an exclusive agreement with BlueLinx Corporation (BlueLinx) for the distribution of AERT manufactured ChoiceDek® decking and accessories to Lowe’s home improvement warehouses throughout the U.S. BlueLinx will be replacing Weyerhaeuser Company as the exclusive distributor of ChoiceDek® products. Terms of the BlueLinx agreement are similar to those in our previous Weyerhaeuser agreement. There will be some overlap of the agreements with the Weyerhaeuser agreement phasing out on or about July 2, 2010.

     Sales to BlueLinx will be on a bill and hold basis that qualifies for revenue recognition pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. AERT is required to maintain insurance on the inventory it holds for BlueLinx. There is no termination date for the agreement, but either party can terminate the agreement with 180 days notice. In conjunction with the execution of the BlueLinx agreement, AERT entered into an agreement with Weyerhaeuser for the assignment of certain trademarks and copyrights by Weyerhaeuser to AERT on May 1, 2013 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Until that time, AERT will continue to operate under a trademark and copyright license with Weyerhaeuser.

     On May 14, 2010, AERT, Inc. issued a press release announcing its agreement with BlueLinx. The press release is included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K filing.
