Differences between materials: 100% recycled plastic and technical wood (WPC)

Within our range of ECO FRIENDLY products, we offer 2 types of slats made from recycled materials:

Wood plastic composite (WPC) slats
Recycled plastic slats

The main difference between these slats is their composition. Both are made from 100% recycled and reclaimed materials, but their texture and finish are also slightly different.

Recycled plastic slat (PRM)

The recycled plastic slat is made entirely from 100% reclaimed plastic.

We collect plastic waste, and after a shredding process, it is injected at high temperatures to produce the recycled plastic slat.

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)

The WPC slat is manufactured from a variety of reclaimed materials, as its initials in English indicate:

W: “Wood” (reclaimed wood or biomass)
P: “PVC” (post-consume reclaimed plastic)
C: “Composed” mix, meaning the previous 2 components are combined

Therefore, our wood plastic composite (WPC) slat is made from 50% recycled plastic and the other 50% biomass -reclaimed rice husk, making it a product manufactured from 100% recycled and reclaimed materials.

Finishes, texture and colour

Both slats have a dark brown colour, but the finish and the texture are different. In the case of the recycled plastic slat has a rougher finish, whereas the wood plastic composite (WPC) slat has a smoother, more elegant finish.
