What is regrind?
Some manufacturers may purchase recycled plastics (regrind) for use in the substrate of their extruded profiles, mainly to reduce costs. It is very difficult to control or verify the source of the regrind purchased. They cannot determine how many times the material was already reprocessed (which is important, as multiple processing usually results in a more brittle, inferior product), nor can they be sure what the exact chemical composition of the waste product was so as to extrude it properly. Westech Fence, Deck and Railing products, whether mono or co-extruded, contain only virgin (non-outsourced recycled) materials.
