What is Plastic Lumber?
Plastic lumber is a sustainable building material made from recycled plastics, engineered to replicate the appearance of natural wood. Unlike traditional timber, it resists rot, decay, and insect damage, and it won’t splinter, providing a durable, low-maintenance option for construction projects.
Originally available only in black, plastic lumber now comes in a wide spectrum of colours, from rich browns to vibrant, eye-catching shades, making it easy to complement any design style.
Also known as composite lumber, plastic wood, or eco wood, this innovative material is produced from post-consumer and industrial plastic waste sourced from agriculture, food and beverage packaging, and everyday household recycling. Its production requires up to 66% less energy compared to manufacturing virgin plastic from crude oil, making it a far greener solution for repurposing plastic.
By converting waste into long-lasting construction products, plastic lumber helps divert trash from landfills while reducing carbon emissions. Whether used for decking, fencing, or outdoor furniture, recycled plastic delivers a sustainable alternative that supports global efforts toward a cleaner, more eco-friendly future.

Recycled plastic lumber is incredibly easy to maintain. It resists harsh weather conditions and does not require regular sanding, varnishing, sealing, or staining. its clean finish endures much longer than traditional wood products. Say goodbye to painting, sealing, and treating your wood every season.
Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose, often ending up in oceans and harming wildlife. By recycling plastics into our products, we give these materials a second life. This manufacturing process generates no waste, and the products are recyclable at the end of their use, supporting a greener lifestyle.
Plastic lumber is designed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions without warping, splintering, or rotting. Unlike softwood, which is prone to decay, our plastic lumber maintains its integrity year after year, no matter the weather.
