Plastic composite timber

You go through all that effort to recycle your plastic bags, but have you ever wondered where they end up? Well, it could be they show up in your next property investment, whether that be the decking in your backyard or the local playground. This isn’t just about recycling and being good to the environment, though. It has a lot to do with how 50-50 combinations of wood and plastic fibres are a lot more durable and less toxic than treated timber. It is also a lot stronger thanks to the wood fibres. We’re not done quite yet, though. The other benefits include it being more resistant to forms of rot, while also being tougher during colder months and more flexible in the summer heat. It may be more expensive upfront, but in terms of longevity, well, it doesn’t get much better.
