Recycled Plastic Lumber (Ecomadera)

Revalora's Recycled Plastic Lumber (Ecomadera in Spanish) is an innovative material in the construction industry, developed from recycled plastics through an extrusion process. This material is an alternative to traditional wood, offering high durability, resistance to humidity and minimal maintenance needs.

It is important to mention that Recycled Plastic Lumber in its initial state is not a finished product, but a raw material that requires processing and transformation before being used in specific industrial applications such as Pallets, Decks and Sleepers.

Its competitive advantages are:

Durability and Resistance: It is extremely durable and resistant to environmental factors such as humidity, corrosion and insects, making it ideal for outdoor use.

Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional wood, recycled plastic decks do not require chemical treatments, sealants or periodic painting, which significantly reduces maintenance costs. 

Stability and Consistency: Recycled Plastic Lumber does not warp, chip or crack over time, maintaining a consistent appearance and functionality.

Recyclability: At the end of their useful life, recycled plastic products can be recycled again, promoting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.

Environmental Sustainability: Using recycled plastics reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, as well as decreasing the demand for wood, which helps conserve forests. It promotes a circular economy model by reusing discarded materials and turning them into useful products.

Reduction of GHG emissions: Manufacturing plastic lumber from recycled plastics consumes less energy than producing new plastics, reducing CO2 emissions. Plastic lumber has a longer lifespan than many traditional materials, reducing the need for frequent replacements and therefore the production of more materials.
