We use various types of waste plastics in our manufacturing process including:
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Polypropylene (PP)
Styrene
PVC
These are commonly sourced from waste packaging, post-consumer, post-production, car bumpers, gas pipes, wheelie bins, disposable nappies, drinking cups, just to name a few. The list is endless for the range of waste we utilise.
Just like when they were in their original form, they all have specific qualities. We use different unique blends and manufacturing processes to achieve various products that provide the performances we require from our different stock Lumber profiles and sheets, and other bespoke products.
We’re reducing depletion of natural resources because our products can be made to resemble timber but they’re also far more durable and resilient. Our manufacturing process generates no waste, and our products are even recyclable after their use. Our methods are always being evaluated in terms of machinery and tooling to ensure the most sustainable methods. Everything is recycled if possible.
The environmental benefits are endless, so why not take a look at our products today? They’re top quality products that combine innovation and sustainability.
What is plastic wood?
Plastic wood is made using 100% high quality recycled mixed waste plastics. It’s comprised of LDPE, HDPE, PP and other materials. The polymers are then ground, mixed and fused under high temperatures to form plastic wood.
