    Wood plastics are relatively in demand in the construction business because of the ability to behave like plastics and have the strength of wood. The mix in the material is from wood waste from wood industry and the polymer and plastic by-products. The wood cellulite content is more in the wood plastic composites and plastic is less visible. For this reason, it assumes the characteristics of wood and can be subjected to drilling, sanding and polishing. With wood plastics having polyethylene, it can be used in building and structural components.

    The wood plastics can hold the nails and fasteners much strongly than that of the wood. The colour of the composite structure is inherited from the cellulite. For this reason the wood plastic comes in the natural colour of grey and earth brown. The strength from the wood content makes it viable for making decks for yards, shades, doors. They can also be bent to form stiff and arching structures. The lack of moisture content in the wood plastics structure acts as resistance to decay.
