Discover WHAT we use, HOW it’s recycled, the BENEFITS of poly, and the IMPACT of choosing recycled products for your outdoor spaces.

WHAT we use

High Density Polyethylene, aka HDPE.

  • HDPE is one of the most versatile plastics and is used widely due to its unique benefits. Denoted by the number 2 on recyclable products, HDPE is found a wide variety of applications such as milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles, cutting boards and piping.
  • HDPE is an inert, see-through material that is weather-resistant and displays durability even at very low temperatures, due to these features, HDPE plastic is one of the most versatile plastics in the world.
  • Highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, solvents, and extreme temperatures and environments, HDPE has an incredibly long-lifespan, with studies showing products made from HDPE lasting in excess of 50 years.
  • An incredibly workable material, common wood working tools and CNC fabrication techniques can be used to cut, drill, router and fasten HDPE plastic lumber.
