One major composite
decking manufacturer, that uses Princo level controls in its processes, turns millions of
pounds of recycled plastic and waste wood each year into building
products.
Most of their raw materials come from recovered plastic grocery bags,
plastic film, and waste wood fiber. They purchases hundreds of millions of
pounds of used polyethylene and an equal amount of hardwood sawdust each year,
materials that would normally end up in a landfill. They recycle over a
billion grocery bags annually.
Their composite decking, railing and
fencing products are made from a unique combination of reclaimed wood and recycled polyethylene
(plastic grocery bags, dry cleaning
bags, stretch film, giving you the best qualities of both materials.
The
plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage, so there's no rotting
or splintering. The wood protects the plastic from UV damage and gives your deck
a solid, natural feel.
Their products offer
superior durability and performance that you can't get from wood. They won’t
warp, rot, or splinter, and they never require staining or painting to maintain
their great looks. They are incredibly safe for the whole family – they don’t
contain any harmful chemicals and the decking boards are slip resistant, meeting
ADA codes. And last but not least, they offer design flexibility and creative
freedom that wood just can’t match. You can bend and curve them to create unique
designs, and you can mix and match colors and finishes for a one-of-a-kind
custom look.
