Eco-Friendly Recycled Vinyl Fencing | Weatherables®
Eco-Friendly 85% Recycled Vinyl Fencing That Lasts
At Weatherables®, we’re proud to offer eco-friendly recycled vinyl fencing and railing that enhance your property and help reduce waste. Our products are made from 85% recycled materials, using post-industrial thermoplastics like recycled windows, siding, and other durable building components. This approach keeps materials out of landfills while ensuring your fence or railing is built to last. Our Savannah vinyl privacy fence was recently awarded a spot on Green Builder’s Sustainable Products of the Year.
Why PVC Vinyl Is a Sustainable Choice
Our vinyl products are crafted from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a material that stands apart from traditional plastic. Unlike most plastics, made from fossil fuels that release harmful carbon dioxide into the environment, PVC uses a combination of natural gas and 60% chlorine derived from common salt, significantly lowering its carbon footprint. Additionally, our PVC vinyl fencing is entirely BPA-free, making it safer for your family and the environment.
One of our products’ greatest benefits is their recyclability. At the end of its life, your vinyl fencing or railing can be cleaned, sorted, reprocessed, and formed into new profiles with relative ease. This means you’re investing in a sustainable solution that doesn’t add to long-term waste.
A Greener Manufacturing Process
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop with our materials—it’s reflected in how we manufacture our products. Weatherables uses a closed-loop watering system during production, ensuring all water is recycled back into our system. This eliminates any potential contamination of local water supplies and minimizes environmental impact. By combining resource-efficient practices with recycled materials, we’re reducing waste and supporting a cleaner planet.
Here's an overview of our production process:
- Recycling PVC: Ground-up recycled PVC is sourced, which otherwise would have ended up in landfills.
- Material Preparation: The recycled materials are melted down to prepare for production.
- Extrusion: The molten materials are extruded into parts and pieces for fencing and railing.
- Assembly: These parts are assembled into the durable, low-maintenance fences and railings Weatherables® is known for.
A Smarter Alternative to Wood Fencing
Unlike wood fencing, eco-friendly recycled vinyl fencing is a cleaner, greener choice. Wood fences require frequent staining and treatments, which can leach volatile organic compounds and other harmful chemicals into the ground and waterways. Over time, wood fences decay and must be replaced, leading to additional environmental strain.
In contrast, vinyl fencing requires virtually no maintenance and is engineered to last decades without the need for harsh chemicals or frequent replacements. You get the durability and beauty you want for your property minus the environmental drawbacks of wood.
