Furniture
The furniture industry is increasingly turning to plastics for the production of modern, durable furniture pieces. PP, PC, PVC, and ABS are popular plastics in this field.
The choice of the right plastic depends on the specific requirements of the furniture piece. For example, polypropylene is well suited for outdoor furniture as it is weather-resistant, while polycarbonate is used for transparent elements like chairs and tables. Resistance to UV rays, moisture, and mechanical wear are crucial properties.
An emerging trend in the industry is the use of Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC). This blend of wood fibers and plastic offers the natural aesthetics of wood paired with the durability of plastic. WPC furniture is more environmentally friendly and sustainable as it utilizes recycled materials.
