What is Plaswood?
Plaswood is an innovative recycled wood like product that is
made entirely from plastic waste that has been diverted from landfill. It is
durable, long lasting, recyclable and maintenance free. It’s an ideal product for outdoor furniture
in heavy use areas like parks and schools.
It is a weatherproof, rot resistant material that is non absorbing so perfect
for areas that are damp.
Is Plaswood Safe?
Plaswood is safe. It does not leach any chemicals and additionally
does not require painting or chemical treatment before it is used. It’s
also more highly resistant to stains, marking and scratching due to the surface
properties. It can be safely used in heavy
traffic areas.
Where is Plaswood Made?
Plaswood has been manufactured in Dumfries in Scotland since
1995, it made by Berry Global who are industry experts in the use and reuse of
plastic materials. Berry have recycled up
to 150,000 tonnes of plastic waste each year in Europe.
Is Plaswood Sustainable?
Plaswood is made from 100% recycled plastic material. This material has been prevented from going
into landfill. Recycling used material
is an essential part of the movement towards a circular economy where nothing
is wasted. At the moment, huge amounts
of plastic are degrading in landfill causing many problems in our environment,
the best solution would be stopping production.
During the transition to a world with minimal plastic recycling the
plastic that is in use is the best option we have available to us. In addition,
Plaswood is long lasting and does not need upkeep, so it is a really practical alternative
to other materials.
What does Plaswood Look like?
Plaswood looks like a cross between wood and plastic. It is planked and then used in a very similar
way to wood to make furniture such as picnic benches. Plaswood can also be coloured, for example on their hive planter!
