What Is POLYWOOD Made From?
Our proprietary Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is made of infinitely recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The perfect material for outdoor furniture, HDPE is heavy-duty, weather-resistant, and easy to clean. Learn more about our recycling process.
Formulated with ColorStay™ technology, we blend UV inhibitors and pigments into the HDPE material before transforming it into lumber. The vibrant colors are not veneers but fully integrated all the way through to ensure lasting beauty—even in harsh sunlight.

POLYWOOD FAQs
We reuse 99% of all production scraps, sending them back to our recycling plant to be remade into new lumber.
High-density polyethylene is a highly durable and reusable plastic used in a variety of everyday items, from laundry detergent bottles to decking.
Our lumber contains UV-inhibiting pigment systems that keep our colors vibrant and fade-resistant for years to come.
POLYWOOD lumber should not be sanded as it will scratch the material's surface and void the warranty.
Our lumber only contains HDPE plastic, UV inhibitors, pigments, and other protective compounds.
Yes, we mix light-stable pigments, UV inhibitors, and other protectants with the HDPE plastic before turning it into lumber, so the color you see on the surface is thoroughly blended throughout the material.
POLYWOOD lumber colors run continuously throughout the material, so no painting is required. We do not recommend painting your furniture as this will void the warranty.
