We were green before green was fashionable
Sustainability and recycled materials are essential to the future of the environment — right down to the products used in your backyard. That belief is why NewTechWood exists in the form it does: composite decking and cladding built from reclaimed wood fibre and recycled plastic, so a green design choice does not have to be a compromised one.
Investing in composite is not only a durability decision. It is a responsible one. Every board diverts material that would otherwise be buried, and it keeps performing for decades rather than being replaced every few seasons.
An environmental crisis
Sustainability is not a buzzword. It is a way of building that matters for the long-term health of the environment, and it rests on three pillars:
- Environmental protection
- Social development
- Economic development
NewTechWood answered the growing concern for environmental sustainability by making building materials from a sustainable process rather than an extractive one. Choosing composite boards made from recycled material means drawing on resources already in circulation instead of taking more from forests and oil.
A green foundation
The company was built on a short list of principles, and they have not moved:
- Products are made from 95% recycled materials, including plastic bottles and reclaimed wood fibres
- Yearly third-party audits confirm compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations
- We reduce our carbon footprint through waste reduction, energy conservation and an optimised manufacturing process
Our parent company has been recycling plastic for almost 30 years. Every year we keep more than 12,000,000 pounds of plastic out of landfill. Because we control the whole recycling process — washing, sorting, screening for impurities — we know exactly what goes into every board.
That control is also why we can stand behind the material with a 25-year limited warranty. Unlike decking that rots or greys out, a NewTechWood deck keeps performing long after the year it was built.
Environmentally friendly materials, across the range
Total vertical integration of manufacturing gives us consistent quality and colour, stable pricing, and dependable availability. These are the products it produces:
- Composite deck boards — made from recycled material in an exclusive range of colours and finishes, engineered for residential and commercial work, and covered by a 25-year limited warranty.
- Composite deck tiles — UltraShield tiles are made from reclaimed wood fibre and recycled polymer, install without tools, and will not bend, split or crack.
- Siding and cladding — capped on all four sides, so facades resist weather, pests and fading without the repainting cycle timber demands.
- Deck railings — aluminium and composite combined for a clean, modern line and a weather-resistant finish that stays looking new.
- Hidden fasteners — the clip system that makes a composite deck quick to install and clean to look at.
Building green, in practice
Specifying recycled-content material can contribute toward credits in leading green building rating systems. If you need documentation for a submission, the technical data sheets, certifications and compliance documents are all in the resource library.
