Wood Plastic Composite is Eco-Friendly

Wood Plastic Composite is manufactured from post-consumer and post-industrial recyclables like milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles. It is also recyclable after the project life-cycle and can be ground up and reused. By repurposing plastic waste and recyclables, it helps keep millions of pounds of plastic out of landfills each year, and will last for generations.

 

The main material of Hosung (Shanghai) WPC Co., Ltd. WPC is natural wood powder (about 60%), by adding HDPE (about 30%) and necessary chemical additives. It’s extruded out from special moldings under high temperature and pressure, which is 100% recycled, eco-friendly, saving forest and petroleum resources, and do not contain the toxic chemicals often found in pressure-treated lumber, and are manufactured in a process that produces zero water waste.

 

Wood Plastic Composite Lasts Longer than Traditional Building Materials

Traditional building materials like wood, metal and concrete can fall short in numerous applications because the performance of the building material doesn’t provide a long-term solution. Moisture and extreme heat and cold can break down and deteriorate these materials over time, but WPC lumber will hold up. It will not mold, splinter, degrade or break down and it will not corrode or rust, like metal. For applications, where impact is abundant (like bridge pier protection and fendering systems), plastic lumber can absorb energy through recoverable deflection and will last for generations.

 

Wood Plastic Composite Provides Excellent Structural and Durable Performance for Residential  and Commercial Applications

While many expect WPC lumber to be primarily used for light-duty residential applications like decking or furniture, it is actually an extremely tough and durable building material that is able to be used for heavy-duty applications where load-bearing and structural support is needed. It also comes in numerous product lines with varying degrees of strength to meet your specific project requirements. It is extremely durable in that it can outlast harsh weather conditions (like snow, rain, extreme heat and cold and wind), provides exceptional structural durability and is low-maintenance because it requires no painting, staining or chemical treatment to increase longevity.

 

The performance characteristics of HDPE plastic lumber makes it a great choice for so much for than decking or furniture because it has the ability to hold up in harsh environments, provides structural support and is an extremely durable material.

 

Wood Plastic Composite is a Versatile Product that Works for Many Application Types

Due to the fact that HDPE plastic lumber comes in many product lines with varying degrees of strength and rigidity, it is an adaptable and resilient building material that can be used in almost any industry. It is great for outdoor applications that are exposed to extreme weather conditions and can be commonly found in marine, industrial and fencing applications. HDPE plastic lumber is a great wood-alternative and can be used virtually anywhere traditional wood would be. Some common applications are bridge pier protection systems, fencing, boardwalks and substructure components and outdoor furniture.
