Polywood, Inc. manufactures structural plastic lumber from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics. Using our patented technologies, we’re developing and advancing the use of structural, industrial plastic lumber for uses including:
- Railroad crossties
- Substructures (joists, beams, posts)
- Vehicular and pedestrian bridges
- Boardwalks and walkways
- Piers and observation platforms,
- And much more!
Compare  ™ to regular wood:
- It’s tougher and more resilient than treated wood
- Never splinters
- Never warps
- Never corrodes
- Mildew resistant
- Unaffected by termites and other insects, rodents, worms or marine parasites
- Resistant to heat, cold, salt and acids
- Lowers worldwide consumption of hardwood trees
™ is non-toxic to humans and animals, and won’t leach or bleed arsen, heavy metals
or chemicals into the soil. It can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering more than three times the amount of carbon as wood, rendering the carbon inert for decades.
This “next generation” lumber was developed and/or tested in concert with:
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratories
- Rutgers University
- The University of Illinois
- Washington & Lee University
- National Electric Energy Testing Research and Applications Center (NEETRAC) at Georgia Tech University
- The New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology
Technical data is available upon request.
