MANUFACTURING
The high-density polyethylene raw material utilized in Poly Lumber is derived from post-consumer bottle waste such as milk containers. This material is cleaned in a decontamination process to a purity level over 99% HDPE. It is then compounded into rigid board stock material, the resulting finished product containing over 90% recycled post-consumer waste by weight.

Poly Lumber is manufactured in many dimensional lumber sizes, shapes and colors. Planks, rails, slats, tongue and groove, as well as specialty profiles are available. The product comes in many wood tones and popular colors. Custom colors can be produced on a large volume, commercial basis.
