What is recycled plastic lumber?
A number of recycled-content deck products are currently on the market. They are typically made of 100% recycled plastic or a 50/50 mix of recycled plastic and waste wood chips or sawdust. These products are very low-maintenance and extremely durable. They require no annual application of sealers and they do not warp, twist, rot or splinter. It is an attractive, safer, cost-effective alternative to chemically treated wood and avoids the need for logging precious woods like redwood and cedar. See the factsheet.
