The new favorite in environmental protection - WPC panels

Wood-plastic materials are occupying the market in a large scale at an extremely fast speed. When the global forest disappears at the speed of 36 football fields per minute,this new type of material, which combines wood powder and plastic, is initiating a green revolution that is changing the way humans use building materials.

When "carbon neutral" becomes the global consensus, the traditional wood resources are increasingly scarce, and a kind of material with both environmental protection and economy is gradually rising——Wood-plastic composite material (WPC).It not only can perfectly replace wood, but also can be recycled and reused, becoming the "green new pet" in the field of architecture, home and garden landscape.

1.What is wood-plastic material?

Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC for short) is a new environmental protection material formed by high temperature extrusion by mixing wood fiber (such as wood powder, bamboo powder and straw) and thermoplastic plastics (PE/PP/PVC).The appearance has a wood-grain texture and the touch feels similar to that of natural wood.

2.Why can WPC replace traditional wood?

For every cubic meter of wood produced, 3 tons of water and 200 units of electricity are consumed, while 0.8 tons of carbon dioxide are released.The birth of wood-plastic materials completely rewritten this equation.Take the experimental data of China Building Materials Group as an example. The wood-plastic products made by blending 50% wood powder with recycled plastics have a carbon emission volume only one-third of that of solid wood, and the water consumption has decreased by 70%.

3.Application Scenarios of WPC Materials:from gardens to homes, it can be found everywhere

Outdoor scene: Weatherproof "Allrunner"

（1）Garden landscape: Wood-plastic flooring, pavilions, guardrails, etc. Use wood-plastic instead of preservative-treated wood, with 10-year maintenance-free guarantee.

Building exterior wall: decorative plate and grille, fire resistance and flame retardance reach Class B1.

（2）Interior home furnishings: Safe and with excellent appearance quality

-Floor&Wall Panels: Formaldehyde-free, home friendly material.

（3）The municipal engineering project is the top choice

Trestle and garbage cans: WPC materials are used for Beijing Winter Olympic Games venues and Shanghai Binjiang Path.

The upgrading of building materials is not only a matter of economic necessity but also a responsibility towards the future of our planet.Whether it is the engineering party, the designer or the ordinary consumer, choose the wood plastic is to choose a sustainable lifestyle.
