Our Wood-plastic composites may be one of the most dynamic sectors of today plastic industry. The production of our WPC typically uses a fine wood waste (cellulose based fiber fillers such as hardwood, softwood, plywood, peanut hulls, bamboo, straw, etc.) mixed with various plastics (PP, PE, PVC). The powder is extruded to a doughlike consistency and then extruded to the desired shape. Additives such as colorants, coupling agents, stabilizers, blowing agents, reinforcing agents, foaming agents, lubricants help tailor the end product to the target area of application. With up to 70 percent cellulose content, wood-plastic composites behave like wood using conventional woodworking tools. At the same time, they are extremely moisture-resistant. There is little or no water present, thus increasing resistance to rot. Wood-plastic composites are already widespread in outdoor use for decking, cladding, park benches, etc. There is also a growing market for potential indoor uses such as door frames, trim and furniture.

Our wood/plastic composite lumber typically consists of a 50 /50 mix of wood fibers from recovered saw dust and waste plastics that include high-density polyethylene, PVC, and others. The material is formed into both solid and hollow profiles. Our wood/plastic composites are typically more rigid than 100 percent recycled plastic lumber because the wood fibers act as reinforcement. In addition, the plastic encapsulates and binds the wood together to resist moisture penetration and degradation from fungal rot.
