Why Choose Eco-Friendly Fencing and Railing?
Eco-friendly fencing and railing aren’t just better for the planet—they’re better for your home and peace of mind. By choosing materials like recycled vinyl, you’re reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and making an investment in a sustainable future. Here’s why eco-friendly options are the perfect addition to your outdoor space:
-
Reduces Waste and Conserves Resources
Weatherables®’ vinyl fencing and railing are made from 85% recycled materials, including post-industrial thermoplastics like recycled windows and siding. This process diverts tons of waste from landfills and minimizes the need for new raw materials. Plus, since vinyl can be recycled at the end of its life, the cycle of sustainability continues, helping reduce the environmental impact even further. -
No Harmful Chemicals
Unlike wood, which often requires staining, painting, and chemical treatments to resist rot and pests, vinyl fencing is naturally low-maintenance and free from harmful substances like BPA. Wood treatments and stains can leach VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the soil and waterways, potentially harming ecosystems. Vinyl provides a clean, durable alternative that won’t compromise the health of your yard or the planet. -
Longer Lifespan Means Less Replacement
Eco-friendly fencing isn’t just about the materials—it’s about making products that last. Weatherables®’ vinyl fences and railings are engineered to withstand extreme weather, including wind gusts up to 130 mph, as well as humidity, sun exposure, and freezing temperatures. A longer lifespan means fewer replacements over the years, reducing the overall environmental impact of your purchase. -
Energy-Efficient Manufacturing
At Weatherables®, sustainability is built into the manufacturing process. We use a closed-loop water system that recycles water during production, keeping it out of municipal water systems and reducing contamination. Our commitment to resource efficiency ensures that every product we make is as eco-friendly as possible. -
No Need for Deforestation
Choosing vinyl over wood fencing helps reduce deforestation and its associated environmental impact. Wood fences also decay over time, requiring replacement and leading to a cycle of resource depletion. Vinyl fencing is a greener option that delivers strength and style without sacrificing trees. -
Lower Carbon Footprint
Weatherables®’ vinyl fencing and railing are made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which uses 60% chlorine derived from common salt and natural gas rather than fossil fuels. This process significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional plastic production, making PVC a more sustainable material choice.
Make the Smart Choice for Your Home and the Planet
Eco-friendly vinyl offers lasting value. Its long lifespan means fewer replacements over time, saving both money and resources. Plus, its recyclable nature ensures that even when it’s time for an upgrade, it can continue its life cycle in a new form rather than ending up in a landfill. These products offer a unique combination of durability, low maintenance, and sustainability that other materials simply can’t match. Weatherables®’ eco-friendly recycled vinyl fencing and railing options let you create the outdoor space of your dreams while reducing your environmental footprint.
