Patio Furniture Made From Recycled Plastic — The 5 Step Process
Good for you … good for our planet.
The story of plastic has taken on an entirely different meaning than it did back in 1907 when it was invented.
Back then it was all the rage, remember the scene in It’s A Wonderful Life when George’s brother Sam was heard saying…
I have a big deal coming up that’s
going to make us all rich. George,
you remember that night in Martini’s
bar when you told me you read
someplace about making plastics out
of soybeans?
Fast forward and that gone crazy viral idea is costing the environment and our future, we have islands of plastic floating in our oceans.
Wonder what Sam would say about that?
So what does that have to do with recycled furniture?
Glad you asked, because there are industries taking our discarded plastic and putting it to use in other ways so it will not find its way into our oceans.
So the next time you toss an empty plastic milk carton just visual it as an Adirondack chair in the future!
Where does the plastic come from for poly lumber furniture?
After you have drained the last drop of milk or juice from a plastic container and it starts its journey in the recycle bin (at least we hope).
Then the first stop off point will be some type of processing station where all the recycled goods are separated and shipped to variety of manufacturers.
Be patient your outdoor patio furniture is on its way!
What is the step by step process for making this furniture?
Step one:
All the usable plastic is complied and shipped to a sorting/processing station where the process begins.
Step two:
The plastic is sorted before being processed into the form it will take before being used for products.
This is to ensure the end product is of the highest quality.
Step three:
For the outdoor furniture process the plastic is formed into pellets and the building design process is next.
Step four:
The pellets are molded/color injected into poly lumber and ready to be used for a variety of products. The coloring process at this stage ensures the color will not flake or peel.
Step five:
The finished recycled plastic is then used to create durable long lasting all weather outdoor furniture that will not chip, fade, mold, mildew or split.
Pretty cool huh?
The finished product features and benefits.
The end result is an outdoor furniture product that is offered in all the popular designs including an Adirondack style, chaise lounges, dining sets, swings, garden benches and much more.
This furniture is weather resistant, very easy to clean and is assembled with stainless steel components for durability and longevity.
Along with all the other benefits it is also offered in a variety bold colors that are sure to pop, offering you a design that is sure to fit in with your outdoor décor.
Patio furniture made from recycled plastic is not only good for your backyard enjoyment it is also good for the planet because there is less plastic in a landfill or floating in our oceans.
