Physical characteristics of plastic Wood REXCO
A product resulted from an advanced industrial proceeding from plastics of industrial refuse, commercial and domiciliary recovered from sanitary land fills. Plastic wood REXCO is a product of physical characteristic very resembling to natural wood, but otherwise resistant to corrosion, water, the biochemical resistant and the open air. Advantages of plastic wood REXCO
Plastic wood REXCO presents good mechanical resistance and dimensional stability; it is hygienic, unbreakable and it is free of maintenance.
Importance of plastic wood REXCO in the environment preservation
Plastic wood REXCO helps in the preservation proceeding of nature because it can substitute in many applications where to sacrifice an invaluable resource is not justified like natural wood.
It is a new product whit similar physics characteristic resembling to natural wood, resulted from plastic recycling of industrial refuse, commercial and recovered sanitary land fills. It is composed by moisture of polyolefin’s (polypropylene, high density polietilen and low density polietilen and some contaminants like aluminum presented on several packages).
Plastic wood REXCO is an ideals material for all that applications to free air, humidity and land contact. It is ideal to buildings pets houses, picnic tables, parking bancs, pallets, urban and rural vales, floor to cool rooms,
coating for canals and roads, canoes for cattle salting and feeding places, gardeners, molding for the building construction, beds, state rooms, working tables, hostelry for chemical laboratories, floors for trucks, bodies for trucks and light motor vans, etc.
Is it REXCO plastic wood a kind product for the medium environment?
Of course, yes: it is a material 100% per cent recycled and recyclable, resulted of recovering and posterior plastic refuse recycling that tarnish so much the environment, helps to save trees, reduce the demand for virgin raw material, energy and polluting that goes whit its use. Beside reducing the demand of more places for sinking.
REXCO offers a guarantee of a decade against problems caused by destroyer agents like insects, mushrooms and bacteria.
REXCO plastic wood can be worked in a similar way as you work natural wood; it can be cut whit a handsaw, fretsaw, and electric saw. It permits to be turned, to be brushed, cut in the corners, perforated, screwing and same tools you works natural wood.
Some questions that are asked very frequently
How is painted REXCO plastic wood?
REXCO plastic wood is not painted but the color stays defined from the beginning of production itself of the wood. It is free of maintenance and it does not need to be painted.
Is it REXCO plastic wood available to be utilized structurally?
In the way we normally produce, is not but if it is produced whit steel profiles immersed into the material from the same moment of intrusion, it becomes perfect for this type of applications.
Does REXCO plastic wood absorb humidity?
Plastic wood is a material that if it is wet, it does not take humidity and neither absorbs humidity as it occurs whit natural wood.
Justification Project
The responsible consumption is one of the most important aspects that in a large measure contribute to the paradigm of sustainable development moved at present by a great quality of international organisms, standing out in this, the United Nations Program for the medium environment. In order to exist a global tendency towards the proposed model of sustainable development, it is necessary that take part whiting it, all production consumption chain , that is to say that all mankind be included.
The former then should begin from the extraction itself of raw material, the intermediate proceedings, the major possible incorporation of recycled material in the final product and the necessary minimization of industrial refuses, commercial and domiciliary. Using others terms, according to using less refuses be generated, the reason is more efficient the utilization of the material and energy, therefore, more long-lasting the resources of the planet and the environmental balance. A clear evidence that things are not being given is that between decades of 60 and 90 generations of solid refuses per person is duplicated.
From 500 gr./ per capita/day to 1.000 gr./ per capita / day cipher four times bigger than four kilograms / per capita / day.
The present project studies the possibility of promoting the application of sustainable development concept by means of the elaboration of a proposition for the plastic refuse treatment, in order to minimize the environment impact caused by the same refuses and developing whit this initiative an important productive chain that begins getting the price to be mischievous called garbage getting in passing an important social labor as much of point of view direct and indirect job generation as from the visual of recuperation of possible spaces that would occupy the sinks destined to house the refuses that are not recovered for being recycled.
TYPES OF RECYCLING
Between solid refuses, plastic occupies an important place because in spite of representing only 10% in weight, they can get to represent til 30% in volume. If we take into account that garbage is a refuse placed on a wrong place. The beginning of recycling is on the separation from its origin and in the collect differentiated in the field of the municipalities given the responsibility of municipalities to give an adequate place to urban refuses.
Recycling techniques at present are fundamentally three:
a. Mechanical recycling.
b. Chemical recycling
c. Energetic utilization.
The mechanical recycling is the most used technique and consists of selection classification washing and grinding of plastic packing resulting some scales that can be destined in a direct way without the necessity of making again pallets in the manufacturing of new products by means of injection or extrusion.
The chemical recycling includes techniques on an industrial scale and consists of separating the basic components of the resin and the synthesis of new virgin material what permits enlarge the scale of materials to recycle and substantial gas saving the same of petroleum which are the basic raw material for plastic. For this recycling do exist several proceedings being the most important the methanolysis, the glycolisis and hydrolysis. Energetic the using is applied in several foreign countries, above all with the PET that is a polymer, formed only by atoms of carbon and hydrogen, for which reason, being burned, it produces only dioxide of carbon and water with detaching of energy.
When is dealed with the little or middle communities geographically isolated, the recycling possibilities are limited for the available volumes and for transport cost towards centers that have the adequate nonflying structures.
In these cases the energetic using permits give aid to schools, asylums or homes on the areas of less resource to complement heating.
Benefit should measure according to the amelioration of like quality of the whole population and the diminution of family allowances and helping that can be directed towards other community areas.
As much the PET available for recycling, as the total of other plastics that do not pollute more than for its visual effect can be packed and used for land fills of low zones of rural roads or well, to constitute the volume of some engineering works.
In this sense, it is necessary to emphasize that the domiciliary separation of refuses is very important to rely on future clean raw materials so that getting sale prices on the part of community.
Eliminating, subsidies for the final disposal of such refuses. Consequently environment damages are avoided; are cost are less and less lands are destined to the rubbish dump. Beneficiaries of separation in the origin and differentiated collect end being the contributors of the community offering a better distribution of public treasury benefits of differentiated collect and recycling should be understood in the terms of a better life quality for the inhabitants minimizing the environmental damages, in better woring conditions for the employees of the recovering plant: less infection sicknesses like contagious or derivates from dangerous refuses.
RECYCLING IS PART OF SOLUTION
It exists a growing number of industries that utilize these secondary raw material to transform. Them in new product, as it is the case of plastic wood production activity that was practically inexistent three lustrums ago. The value of these refuses and the extension of these refuses and the extension of profitable life of places for the final disposal make recycling finding each time more spreading in society and in its institutions, generating this way collective conscience of control on the action of refuses which is no doubt the stood out industry of the present millennium that just began.
For industrials does exist another series of concerns that impel them to the researching in order to get possibly degradable plastic. The biodegradation is a viable alternative only in areas where periods of using be inferior to the biodegradation plastic with several types of biodegradability is utilized to elaborate consumption products; for example plastics that are degraded with gastric juice in the pharmaceutical industry and plastic photo degradables in this moment exist legislative laws uncompleted for the recognizing of the biodegradability a clear example is that it has been applied the break to bag productions from polyethylene with percentages of starch.
In European countries is found a high acceptation of the system known as high acceptation of the system known as reutilization in which products are utilized several times without being subjected to the transformation proceeding. This type of activity is common in packing products.
Plastic recycling has know taking a position as a great solution. In the European Union recycling industries generates more that two millions of jobs, and in the USA is an economy area that employs more people than coal industry.
The growing enterprises in the US that work in plastic refuses recycling from 300 to 1.700 enterprises in a decade ( till 1996) generated 52.000 new jobs and were defined 1.400 products made derivate from this material, being this clear example of the magnitude for this solution.
