Deciding on the right patio set is not an effortless choice. Wood and metal are classic selections, but aside the risk or rot and rust, they can be overwhelmingly expensive, difficult to preserve, and too heavy to move. Nylon and thin plastics are cheaper, but flimsy. The very best way to go is to select resin furniture, a powerful plastic that can be created to look like actual wood, is simple to clean, lift, and store, and comes with far much less sticker shock. One of the greatest things about resin is that a lot of it is nowadays created from recycled supplies, so you can go green in style.
A lot of outdoor resin furniture is created utilizing 100% post consumer recycled HDPE. This is a high density polyethylene found in packaging, most recognizably in milk jugs, but also in detergent bottle, margarine tubs, and garbage cans. HDPE is melted down into a sort of plastic lumber that’s then repurposed for furniture. Each pound of recycled HDPE roughly equates to eight milk jugs worth. That’s eight much less milk jugs in a landfill somewhere.
