Recycled plastic profiles offer a sustainable alternative to timber that is durable, low maintenance, and provides cost savings over time. They can be used for applications like boardwalks, fences, outdoor furniture, and signs. Benefits include being visually similar to timber but more resistant to rot, insects, UV light, and requiring no chemical treatment. Using recycled plastic helps divert waste from landfills and reduces concerns around sustainable timber sourcing. A cost analysis found plastic structures like walkways require replacement less often and have lower lifetime costs compared to timber due to reduced maintenance needs.
