Finding ways to reduce our impact on the environment is a worthy endeavor that must be undertaken. Every year, there are more and more options that are aesthetically pleasing, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Each of these options would be a stunning addition to any home or public space looking to beautify their community while being mindful of our planet’s future.

With an ever-increasing focus on green, environmentally friendly practices, many individuals and organizations are moving away from traditional lumber and going for Wood Plastic Composite lumber to build their structure in the building and construction industry.

Recycled Wood Plastic Composite lumber has become a major component in making children playgrounds and other landscaping features. People are no longer using traditional fence materials to make their fences but are using WPC lumber to make perimeters around their homes. So, what are the benefits of recycled WPC fencing as compared to traditional fence materials?

1. Environmentally Friendly

Recycled WPC building materials are typically sourced from recycled plastics and other materials that have already been discarded on the environment. This means that companies get rid of all the plastic materials on the surroundings and other harmful materials that are processed together to form WPC lumber. Moving away from traditional fence materials leaves the environment clean to support life.

What is more, traditional fence materials, such as hardwood-inspired perimeter walls had to cut down indigenous trees and other precious plants to come up with the land. This exposed the environment to soil erosion.

2. Long lasting

We have for a longer period complained of how long the plastic takes to decompose when it is disposed to the environment. Plastic may take years to decompose, which means that it used to destroy soil microorganism. How about using that durability to our advantage? Unlike traditional fence materials, which decay and decompose after a few years of service, WPC lumber fences will serve you for many years.

Recycled WPC fencing is not only resistant to weather changes but also resistant to chemical corrosion, water, insect resistant, graffiti resistant, and does not crack. This means that it will serve you for as long as you would like. This means that you will be saving considerable amounts of money.

3. Economic

A considerable number of people have moved away after hearing the costs associated with WPC wood. There is already a perception out there that WPC lumber prices are too high which is very far from the truth. However, a close analysis of WPC lumber costs versus benefits proves otherwise, especially when compared with other fencing system being used by other people.

When you compare installation costs, disposal costs, replacement costs, and maintenance costs, you will come into the realization that WPC wood will save you more money as compared to any other form of fencing that you will be using. You will not expect to use any money for maintenance or replacement as WPC will be there for a longer period as compared to virgin wood.

WPC also has more benefits to the community such as the fact that it creates additional business and work opportunities. The fact that it has lower long-term maintenance costs than wood implies that it saves large-scale purchasers such as local governments and other organizations money. Moreover, it helps the local governments to dispose of hazardous landfills effectively. It also helps to make effective use of wood waste.

4. Low Maintenance

Low maintenance is one of the major factors that is contributing to the increased use of WPC lumber around the world. If you have ever been involved in the maintenance of landscaping boards and wood deck for some time, you already know that plastic lumber does not require any form of maintenance. All you need to do is to make sure that you wash the lumber when it gets dirty.

5. Aesthetically Pleasing

Everyone wants to have beautiful structures in their homes. You have already invested considerable amounts of money in building your house, and you cannot accept an ugly fence. Recycled WPC lumber does not need any repainting or treatment. They come pre-colored, and it’s upon you to decide which color works for you. This is unlike traditional fencing materials that need to be painted and treated because they do not have natural beauty.
