To make a whole deck area solely made of wood, you need to cut down perhaps a whole tree. Traditional wood decking brings a number of negative environmental effects. Tropical hardwoods can lead to rain forest deforestation and habitat degradation.

In recent years, Wood Plastic Composite decking materials have become increasingly popular as an alternative to wooden decking. WPC products have become cheaper, more durable, and more eco-friendly. Using WPC decreases the demand for timber and the need to cut down trees, thus helps reduce deforestation and habitat degradation.

If you want to contribute to environmental protections such as deforestation and recycling, Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is the wisest option.

The most significant advantage of WPC products is eco-friendly. WPC materials are usually made from recycled plastic and wood wastes, which help reduce the amount of wood and plastic wastes in landfills worldwide.

WPC materials use recycled wood, bamboo, sawdust and other wood waste that would otherwise end up in landfill or in an incinerator, which not only helps to reduce the amount of material entering landfill, but also reduces the need for logs. This helps reduce deforestation and habitat degradation, protect the world's forests and reduce dependence on logging and wood plantations.

WPC materials also include a range of recycled plastics, including plastic bags, bottles and packaging materials. WPC products are especially useful when recycling plastic bags. Usually, plastics can only be down-cycled. This means that plastic bottles, for example, cannot be recycled back into plastic bottles. They can only be recycled into lighter plastic materials like plastic bags. With the advent of recycled building materials, plastic bags can now be up-cycled into products like WPC decking boards.

Recycling these plastic wastes to WPC products helps to keep large amounts of plastic out of landfills. It also helps to reduce the amount of plastic washing into the ocean as these plastics are being given a second useful lease on life.

Most WPC manufacturers do not only use recycled materials, but also use recyclable materials. These products can be reproduced later as similar materials for other outdoor areas. That's why WPC materials are called ‘green’ decking.

The main material of HOSUNG (Shanghai) WPC Co., Ltd. WPC products is natural wood powder (about 60%), by adding high density polyethylene plastic (about 30%) and necessary chemical additives.

The High-quality HOSUNG WPC products are made using an eco-friendly manufacturing process. Unlike pressure-treated wood, no toxic chemicals are used to treat the materials. The manufacturing process uses minimal energy and water and produces few waste materials. The recycled materials are carefully processed to remove impurities and ensure a high-quality product that is long-lasting and requires minimal maintenance.

Composite decking requires much less maintenance than traditional wood decking. It does not require regular oiling, painting or sealing treatments needed to maintain wood. It also does not require chemical treatments to prevent damage from termites, rot and mold. This means that WPC decking requires less potentially harmful, fossil fuel-based chemicals for cleaning and maintenance, which is beneficial to the environment.

WPC materials also promote the reduction of air pollution. Unlike treated wood, they are free of copper, chromium, arsenic and other such toxins. Even after a long period of use, you do not need to stain or seal them, so you avoid ingesting harmful fumes that linger in your area when treating wood.

WPC materials have low moisture absorption and high resistance to rotting, insect and damage by UV rays. WPC materials are also splinter-free and resistant to warping. Their low maintenance requirements and costs compared to traditional wood truly make them the preferred materials by many people.

In general, WPC decking has a much longer lifespan than traditional wood decking. WPC decking is less susceptible to pests, rot and mold, and is not easy to warp, split or splinter. This means you will have a longer life decking and will require fewer materials for repair or replacement.

Undoubtedly, Wood Plastic Composites do help save the environment and also have excellent performances. Therefore, it is pretty obvious that choosing WPC products can easily be the best choice for your next decking project.
