Recycled plastic or composite “lumber”?
A number of recycled-content and composite material deck products are currently on the market. An attractive alternative to chemically treated wood and valuable naturally-durable woods like redwood and cedar, recycled-content and composite material decks are very low-maintenance and highly durable. These products are made either entirely or partially from recycled plastic, which helps close the recycling loop by finding useful end products for recycled materials.
