Lawn Chairs Made Out of Recycled Material

Recyclable Materials

• A July 2011 Environmental Protection Agency report states that 30 million tons of plastic waste was discarded in 2009 in the United States. Plastic jugs, containers, plastic film and grocery bags are processed into flakes at a reclaiming facility. The flakes are put through another process and melted down into pellets. The pellets are processed into poly resin forms which are used to manufacture new items including lawn chairs.

Furniture Care

• Lawn chairs that are made from recyclable materials are easy-care pieces of durable furniture. The smooth surface requires no maintenance such as staining, pest control sprays and sealants. The days of splinters in your skin end with this furniture, as the material needs no sanding. The color will remain true so you will not have to paint it to rejuvenate it in the future.

Homeowner Benefits

• Lawn chairs made from recycled materials are long-lasting. The sturdy pieces are weather resistant. You will be able to leave the poly resin furniture out of doors for the entire season without covering it. The furniture can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent. Eco-friendly manufacturers have developed a process to create a material that will not mildew. Replacement boards are no longer needed as the material stays intact. Lawn chairs are available in many styles and colors to suit a homeowner's personal decorating taste.

Living Green Benefits

• Lawn chairs that are made with recyclable materials help deplete the mass of plastics that are purchased and thrown away each year. Save on chemical pollution with the elimination of pest control and weatherproofing products that are no longer needed to maintain the outdoor furniture pieces. Recycled plastic furniture cuts down on the need to harvest wood for building lawn chairs.
