What is Plastic Lumber?

Plastic lumber is a sustainable building material made from recycled plastic, engineered to resemble natural timber. Unlike traditional wood, it is completely resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage — and it won’t splinter, making it a durable and low-maintenance alternative for a wide range of construction applications.

Originally produced only in black, plastic lumber is now available in a variety of colours including dark brown, natural oak, and a selection of vibrant, cheerful hues to suit different design preferences.

Also known as composite lumber, plastic wood, or eco wood, this innovative material is manufactured from post-consumer and industrial plastic waste — sourced from agriculture, food and beverage packaging, and household recycling. Its production consumes up to 66% less energy compared to creating new plastic from crude oil, offering a more environmentally responsible solution for plastic reuse.
