Why We Are Best
Recycled plastic alternatives to plywood are rapidly gaining popularity across various sectors, driven by their strength, durability, and eco-friendliness. As sustainability becomes a key concern, these alternatives are gaining popularity with consumers and clients. Typically crafted from recycled polyethylene plastic, these sheets actively divert single-use plastic away from landfills whilst offering solutions to problems. With superior endurance and flexibility, this green alternative outperforms plywood.
Environmental Sustainability
Contrary to misconceptions about plywood being a more natural choice, recycled plastic sheets actively divert single-use plastic from landfill and are 100% recyclable. It contributes to a circular economy, unlike plywood, which contains chemicals in its adhesive which are non-recyclable and emit toxic gases.
Impact resistance
Whilst plywood has been a common ground protection material on construction sites for decades, there has been a shift to a more impact-resistant alternative in recent years. Plastic sheets offer superior protection because of their flexibility, which evenly distributes impact, preventing damage to both the sheet and the ground from heavy equipment.
Improved longevity
Recycled plastic sheets outperform plywood sheets when it comes to durability. Unlike wood and other materials, plastic sheets don’t rot, rust, or break down over time making them a great choice for outdoor use because they won’t get damaged by water and moisture ingress whereas Plywood, on the other hand, can start to rot and weaken when in wet conditions, meaning it needs to be replaced regularly. Thanks to their robust construction, plastic sheets boast an impressive lifespan that can extend up to five times longer than that of traditional plywood. This longevity translates to significant cost savings for businesses in the long term, as they won’t have to replace these sheets as frequently, leading to enhanced sustainability and improved bottom-line results.
Minimal maintenance
Plastic sheets are incredibly tough and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for building sites or any outdoor project. Regardless of the weather – whether it is hot or raining – these plywood alternatives won’t splinter or crack easily. This durability means businesses won’t have to replace them as often, saving time and money once again. What’s more, as they are waterproof, cleaning is made far easier. After carrying out work, customers can easily wash with water and even chemicals, and they will be as good as new, ready for the next job. This not only saves users the hassle but also presents a professional image to their customers. It is a practical solution that helps keep projects running effectively. In addition to this, when plywood is no longer fit for purpose, there are significant associated costs with the disposal of it.
