Frequently Asked Questions
What recycled building products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries recycled and eco-friendly building products including composite decking made from recycled wood fibre and plastic, recycled rubber flooring, and other materials that incorporate post-consumer or post-industrial recycled content. These products deliver performance comparable to virgin material alternatives while reducing material waste.
Are recycled composite building products as durable as conventional materials?
Yes. Quality composite products made from recycled content are engineered to meet or exceed the performance of conventional alternatives in their intended applications. Composite decking from brands like Trex uses 95 percent recycled material and carries 25-year warranties. Recycled rubber flooring outlasts vinyl and laminate in high-traffic commercial applications.
Do recycled building products qualify for green building certifications?
Many recycled content products contribute to LEED and other green building certification credits in the Materials and Resources category. Products must meet minimum recycled content thresholds and have documentation from the manufacturer. Windsor Plywood can provide product data sheets with recycled content percentages for products being specified for certified projects.
What is the difference between pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content?
Pre-consumer recycled content is material diverted from the manufacturing waste stream before it reaches a consumer, such as sawdust, wood chips, and factory offcuts. Post-consumer recycled content is material recovered after consumer use, such as plastic bags, bottles, and demolished wood. Both count toward recycled content credits, but post-consumer content is generally weighted more heavily in sustainability frameworks.
Are recycled building products more expensive than conventional alternatives?
Recycled content products vary in price depending on the category. Composite decking made from recycled content carries a higher upfront cost than pressure-treated wood decking but delivers lower lifetime maintenance costs. The cost-benefit calculation over a product's lifespan often favours recycled alternatives when maintenance requirements are factored in.
