"WPC",  also called "Wood-Plastic Composite", understood as the name suggests plastic as the main  raw material, a material used to replace wood, which is made of plastic  and wood according to approximately 1: 1 ratio made . Its  application can save a lot of natural wood, help protect the  environment, because of the natural fiber ingredients, wood has better  resistance to UV (ultraviolet) performance and lower thermal expansion  and contraction properties, and like wood as easy to process. WPC as an environmentally friendly new materials by the people's attention.
Because  wood texture two characteristics of both plastic and wood preservative  water, making it a good performance and very durable outdoor building  materials (flooring, fencing, stool, waterfront garden or landscape,  etc.); can replace port , docks and other wood elements used to replace wood can be used for  the production of packaging, pallets, warehouse mat and so numerous,  extremely versatile.
WPC  - an alternative to wood and new materials, plant fiber-based material,  a new type of synthetic plastic composite material, along with the  advantages of plant fibers and plastics, and a wide range, covering  almost all wood, plastic, steel,  aluminum and other similar fields of use of composite materials, but  also solve the plastics recycling timber industry waste resources. Its main features are: raw material resources, product plasticized,  using environmentally friendly, cost-oriented economy, recycling  technology.
WPC promote the industrialization of the 1980s from the United States, initially as a modified plastic applications. With  the improvement of the technical level, the wood gradually with the  advantages of plastic, wood, metal and other elemental materials, new  materials become self-contained. At present, all kinds of wood products in the United States, Canada,  Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Japan and South Korea and other  countries have been more widely used, the formation of a more  standardized industries and markets.
North America is the world's fastest growing WPC, the largest amount of area, is mainly used for rugged outdoor-style building.American WPC market in 1990 to 2000 the annual growth rate in more than 10% growth in the past five years, especially fast.The United States has about 50 wood enterprises, the annual output of 10,000 tons more than most. American  WPC also more than 50 research institutions, forming a complete  industrial product development, raw materials collected, equipment  manufacturing, mold development, production and marketing of products. Canada after 10 years of effort, also formed in more than 10  enterprises as the mainstay, the annual output of over 50,000 tons of  wood industry.
Overall not as good as the European wood industry in North America, but in recent years to speed up the trend. European  manufacturing wood flooring business is not much, but it has a strong  capability of equipment manufacturing, development potential can not be  discounted. Europeans  requires more delicate wood materials, the demand for varieties of  flower color is also higher than in North America, interior decoration  and outdoor architecture go hand in hand, but the application of  technology and commodity market is not very mature, still more room for  growth. Japan, due to geographical reasons and environmental awareness, the application of WPC is relatively common, 亦较 good quality. In  EIN WOOD Corporation as the representative of wood research institute,  after ten years of efforts to develop a high-quality wood materials. The product has a natural wood color and texture, the house has been  widely used in the field of architectural decoration, it is one of the  highest international quality products, on behalf of the WPC substitute  natural wood quality level and direction of development.
Status and prospects of domestic wood
Under  the dual policy of promoting national recycling economy and business  potential benefits to encourage demand, nationwide "WPC hot" are  gradually emerging. By  the end of 2005, the country has wood development, production and  support of more than 150 units, wood industries employing tens of  thousands of people, has annual sales of wood products received 100,000  tons, the annual output value over 800 million yuan. WPC  companies concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta  region, the eastern technological level of individual enterprises more  leading enterprises in the South is an absolute advantage in the number  of products and markets. Test samples representative of the industry's major technology  companies have reached or exceeded the international advanced level.
Our natural wood resources dwindling, the demand for wood products, but the market is growing. Huge market demand and technological breakthroughs will inevitably continue to broaden the WPC market access. Demand from the market point of view, wood is most likely to begin to  expand the scale of building materials, outdoor facilities, logistics,  transport facilities, furniture, supplies, and other fields.
Our life on Earth, after forty years, hundreds of millions of Evolution, it created an environment for living organisms. From the beginning of the past 10,000 years, the Earth's ecology has changed, nearly a hundred years, is particularly serious. Tropical rain vicious cycle of ecological environment. In  order to safeguard the long-term survival of the Earth's environment,  we should start from economic development, industrial products and other  aspects of daily life must be done in line with the laws of nature and  create a good ecological chain, to protect the survival of our planet.  But human survival and development areneed  resources, we need to do is how to rational use of limited resources to  meet human needs for sustainable development, while wood is in  considering the premise of resource recycling, developed a kind of  plasticity composites, waste wood, wasteplastics as raw materials, re-use, to create new materials.
After  regeneration of this material, in terms of texture and feel, you can  replace the function and use of natural wood and other composite  materials.
