Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture: Cleaning Up The Ocean Environment

Recycled Plastic All Weather Outdoor Furniture is Eco Friendly, so environmentalists take note! Cleaning up the beach has never been so easy!
It’s the lazy environmental activist’s dream: all weather outdoor lounge furniture that works to clean up the oceans while you relax sipping a pina colada on the beach. Too good to be true? Actually this is one of those rare times where you can have your cocktail & drink it too. It turns out the latest in high end, all weather outdoor patio furniture is a line of eco-friendly chairs, tables, lounges and rockers all made from recycled plastic bottles. The best part: the furniture is well designed, beautiful and lasts for many years.

POLYWOOD® Recycled Plastic Outdoor Patio Furniture

This innovative eco-friendly patio furniture is created from recycled plastic lumber (also called RPL) using an extrusion process that replicates the look and texture of real wood. Post consumer recycled HDPE containers such as water, soda, milk or detergent jugs comprise 90-100% of this furniture. They get transformed into a super durable, heavy and rigid board stock that looks and feels like real solid wood but can withstand outdoor abuse from rain, snow, ice, sun and salt water.

An Elegant Solution to the Problem of Plastics Disposal

Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour & most of these are thrown away
Plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kills an estimated 1 million sea creatures every year
Plastic trash does not biodegrade
Two geniuses, Doug Rassi & Mark Phillabaum looked at these facts and saw a plentiful source of raw materials to make outdoor furniture that’s virtually indestructible. Just like our plastic trash, their brainchild recycled POLYWOOD all weather patio furniture does not deteriorate due to weather, insects or moisture. It doesn’t rot, splinter or crack. Sadly, plastic trash will be around forever but on the bright side, that’s what enables recycled POLYWOOD outdoor furniture to sport a lifetime guarantee. Environmentalists take note. Cleaning up the beach has never been so sweet!
