Recycled Plastic Option
Additionally, recycled plastic serves as an option to
the Avondale collection. Plastic lumber is generally
manufactured from 25 percent to 100 percent by weight
preconsumer and postconsumer plastics, or a blend of
recycled plastic with other materials such as wood fiber,
glass fiber, rice hulls, peanut shells, and rubber.
By using materials that have been diverted from the
waste stream (e.g. plastic, wood, rubber, etc.), recycled
plastic lumber (RPL) conserves landfill space.
Benefits of Recycled Plastic Include:
• Rarely cracks or splinters.
• Resists rot, mildew and termites.
• Is weather and graffiti-resistant.
• Is unaffected by bacteria, worms, insects, fungi
or rodents.
• Can be painted or stained when wood or other
natural fiber is incorporated.
• No waterproofing, staining or regular maintenance
required.
• Is long lasting, sometimes lasting more than
50 years, depending on the application.
• Is sold in a variety of standard dimensional
sizes, colors and textures.
• Is aesthetically pleasing. Can be manufactured
to meet different designs and appearance specifications.
