Description
Recycled Plastic Decks
These plastic decks have gone through an extensive recycling process involving collecting, sorting, shredding, resizing, washing, heating, and melting, we can transform everyday plastic products into a final composite material.
This innovative process offers a safe, cost-effective, and durable alternative to steel. The resulting plastic shelving decks possess remarkable qualities such as high impact strength and excellent weatherability. They are not only easy to clean but also demonstrate robustness, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
These plastic shelving decks contribute to sustainable practices while meeting the stringent demands of modern environments. This solution not only enhances efficiency in material usage but also supports environmentally conscious initiatives.
Environmental Benefits
- Reduces Waste: By using recycled plastics, these decks help divert plastic waste from landfills and reduce the demand for new raw materials.
- Sustainable Production: The production of recycled plastic decking typically involves less energy and fewer resources compared to manufacturing new plastic products.
Durability
- Weather Resistant: Recycled plastic decks are resistant to moisture, sunlight, and temperature extremes, preventing issues like warping, cracking, and splintering.
- Insect Proof: They are not susceptible to damage from termites or other insects, unlike traditional wood.
Low Maintenance
- No Staining or Sealing: Unlike wood decks, recycled plastic decks don’t require regular staining, sealing, or painting.
- Easy Cleaning: They can be cleaned easily with soap and water, reducing the need for harsh chemicals or extensive upkeep.
Aesthetic Variety
- Design Flexibility: Available in a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes, recycled plastic decks can mimic the look of wood or offer unique styles.
- Consistent Appearance: Unlike wood, which can change colour or texture over time, recycled plastic decks maintain their appearance and colour.
Safety
- Slip Resistance: Many recycled decks have a textured surface that provides better traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially when wet.
- Splinter-Free: The absence of splinters makes these decks safer for children and pets.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency
- Longevity: With minimal wear and tear over time, the decks often have a longer lifespan than traditional wood decks.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Lower maintenance requirements mean fewer costs associated with upkeep, repairs, and replacements.
Ease of Installation
- Lightweight: the decks are typically lighter than wood, which can simplify transportation and installation.
Temperature Regulation
- Cooler Surface: Some of the decks are designed to reflect heat better, making them cooler underfoot compared to traditional plastic decks, although this can vary by product.
By choosing recycled plastic decks, you’re investing in a product that offers durability and convenience while also contributing positively to environmental sustainability.
