Abstract

Despite a slowdown in construction in North America, the growth in use of wood-plastic composites for decking, railing and fencing continues as it replaces timber and other materials. The benefits of these materials are now also being appreciated in Europe and other parts of the world as well, and volumes are growing. Jennifer Markarian reports on trends and developments in wood-plastic composites.
