Chances are that you have never heard of ultimate green lumber, unless you are involved in the construction industry. Anyone who is worried about the environment will love this product which is used a lot to construct decks and deck furniture. Eco-lumber is another of the names it is referred to, and plastic lumber, enviro-wood, poly-wood and permo-wood also. The patio furniture industry has been radically transformed by the coming of this material, which is not only earth-friendly but economical to use as well.
It is shaped like normal pieces of lumber, but instead of a tree it comes from recycled plastic materials, which once were jugs and other containers. This eco-friendly product doesn’t only look like lumber, it also has the same feel and can be tooled, cut and sawed like any regular piece of lumber. Some of the main uses are decking used for decks, for benches, for picnic tables, along with patio furniture and equipment for playgrounds. The making of the ultimate green lumber is a terrific means to use the growing mountain of recycled plastic waste. From only 234 million pounds ten years ago, the amount of plastic materials being recycled has gone up to 1.5 billion pounds.
