Global Wood Plastic Composites Market [By Type (Polyethylene-Based Wood Plastic Composites, Polyvinylchloride-Based Wood Plastic Composites, Polypropylene-Based Wood Plastic Composites); By End-User (Construction and Architecture, Automotive, Industrial, Consumer Goods, Others)], and Geography - Trend, Analysis and Forecast, 2017-2026

Report Summary

Wood plastic composite is a hybrid material made from natural wood and plastic fiber. Saw dust is mixed with plastic powder, which is then extruded or molded. Other additives such as colorants, reinforcing agents, and lubricants are added for specific applications. Wood plastic composite is a sustainable material made from waste wood and recycled plastic used in outdoor decking floors, railings, fences, cladding, outdoor landscape, cornices, door and window frames, indoor furniture, and outdoor furniture among others. Wood plastic composite is moisture- and rot-resistant, and can be developed into a wide range of shapes and dimension. Wood plastic composites are used in various applications such as building and architecture, automotive, and consumer goods among others. Other features offered by wood plastic composite include ease of maintenance, resistance to ultra violet light, durability, slip resistance, and weather resistance among others.
