Wood

Recycled and Renewable

In 2006, a company had gone a step further and made a new and improved product line - exterior wood panels with durability and strength, an environmentally sustainable bio-composite surface.

Manufactured in the USA with 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

Using recycled paper products and environmentally friendly resins, the technology was initially proven in the demanding application of skateboard ramps, where it held up under heavy beating and continuous exposure to the elements.

A 1 inch by 5 foot by 12 foot sheet of this exterior wood panel (versus a regular phenolic composite manufactured from virgin fiber and a regular, commercially available, solvent-based resin) will save :
  • 1233 gallons of water
  • 2.03 million BTU's of energy
  • 131 pounds of solid waste
  • 254 pounds of greenhouse gases
  • 55 pounds of petroleum-based phenol
  • 22 pounds of natural gas-based methanol
Amazing.
