Every season the Christmas tree takes center stage. No holiday decoration is more iconic, more beloved or more nostalgic than the good old Christmas tree. And sure, you could decorate it the same way every year and that would be perfectly fine. But if you want to have a white Christmas, we encourage you to be environmentally-friendly this holiday season by being green, it could be the year you take your tree to the next level.

Christmas Tree

Every year when the holiday season is near, a debate sparks between whether an artificial tree or a real Christmas tree is the more eco-friendly option. What really matters is what you do with the tree after the holiday. If you have an artificial tree, be sure to reuse it as long as you can. Sources say artificial trees can last up to 10 years!

If you prefer to have a real Christmas tree, you can minimize its environmental impact by recycling it. Surprisingly there is a perfect way to recycle it. The real Christmas tree can be recycled into wood fibers, and wood fibers can be used to produce eco-friendly Wood Plastic Composite materials.

WPC materials use reclaimed timber, bamboo, sawdust and other wood waste that would otherwise end up in landfill or an incinerator. Not only does this help to reduce the volume of material going to landfills, it also reduces the demand for virgin wood. This helps reduce deforestation and habitat degradation and save forest and petroleum resources, protecting the environment and lowering reliance on logging and timber plantations.

And reducing deforestation can significantly lower global warming emissions and—together with efforts to reduce emissions from fossil fuels—plays an integral role in a comprehensive long-term solution to global warming.

Christmas Tree Decorations

Decorating Christmas trees with ornaments made from sustainable and recycled materials. Reusing Christmas ornaments from past years is also a great way to save money and materials. If you are feeling creative, you can make your own ornaments out of shopping bags and the Christmas cards you received. Using sustainable decorations is a great way to make your holiday season even greener.

You Know What, the plastic Christmas ornaments can also be recycled to produce eco-friendly Wood Plastic Composite materials.

In the building and construction industry, Wood Plastic Composite materials play an important role in recycling plastics. WPC products made with recycled plastic gives new life to plastic waste. The recycled plastics can be made into wood plastic composites, which are used for things like decking, park benches, and playground equipment, etc.

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.

WPC material is a new type of eco-friendly and energy-saving composite material that is made from wood fibers and recycled plastic, substitute for wood. WPC material is also recyclable, you can recycle it after use. It has all the features of green environmental protection as well as sustainable development.

As an individual or part of the global community, you can at-least recycle your Christmas tree and plastic ornaments to be green this holiday season.
