BAMBOO BPC COMPOSITE EXTERIOR DECKING
SWB GLOBAL SOLUTIONS is proud to present the
future in Composite Decking. SWB CompDeck is the
highest quality, strongest, most resilient and
beautiful composite decking available. SWB
CompDeck is ecologically and environmentally
friendly, helping to reduce usage of world forests and
limit materials placed in landfills.
Environmentally Friendly
SWB CompDeck is the ultimate solution to world forest
degradation and the recycling of plastic products. SWB CompDeck is
made from bamboo and first level plastic materials that would
normally find their way to a landfill.
Today, almost 1 million acres of forest vanish per week. Bamboo is
the fastest growing plant on earth. It is known to produce greater
biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest of comparable
size, while improving watersheds, preventing erosion, restoring soil,
providing sweet edible shoots and removing toxins from contaminated
soil. Ecologists tout bamboo as a renewable source of food and
building material. Many promote bamboo planting for erosion
prevention, and even to reverse the effects of global warming.
Bamboo helps reduce carbon dioxide gases blamed for global
warming. Some bamboo sequesters up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide
per hectare, which makes it a highly efficient plant, and conducive to
fresh air. Bamboo can be selectively harvested annually and
regenerates without replanting.
Bamboo is a natural water control barrier. Because of its extensive
root system and large canopy, bamboo greatly reduces rain runoff,
prevents massive soil erosion and retains significant more water in
a watershed. Bamboo helps mitigate water pollution due to its high
nitrogen consumption, making it a solution for excess nutrient uptake
of wastewater from manufacturing, livestock farming and sewage
treatment.
Bamboo can restore degraded lands. It is a pioneering plant and
can be grown in soil damaged by overgrazing and poor agriculture.
Proper harvesting does not kill the bamboo plant, so topsoil is held in
place. Because of its dense litter on the forest floor it feeds topsoil,
restoring healthy agricultural lands for generations to come.
Typical hardwood trees, such as the ones used in conventional
wood products, take 30-150 years to regenerate depending on the
species. In the meantime, there is less oxygen produced, less carbon
dioxide consumed, and more soil runoff in the spot where that tree
was harvested - all producing negative environmental effects. Our
biosphere is suffering from resource depletion, habitat loss, species
extinction, and ecosystem pollution, suggesting sustainability is not
enough.
Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them
are thrown away! Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into
the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!
Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every
year. On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste
each day. This adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.
Since world is beginning to pay more attention now more than
ever before to the issues of ecological sustainability, renewable
resources and the need to recycle, bamboo products have become
some of the star performers amongst products of their peers. Whereas
once, traditional timbers such as cedar, oak and rosewood were highly
prized, the movement has swayed towards materials that can be
regenerated without causing scars upon the environment.
Aside from those issues, however, is the fact that Bamboo
Composite is ‘clean and green’. It is able to be manufactured without
harmful effluents making their way into the air, soil or water. As
history evolves, Bamboo Composite DECKING is making itself known
as a true revolution in decking and other home building applications.
How It Is Made
The manufacturing process to make composite decking first
started to appear in the early 1990’s. In its most basic form,
composite deck boards were made by mixing wood fibers and plastic.
It’s similar in some respects to concrete which is a combination of
large and small stone, sand, Portland cement and water. The plastic in
composite decking is the binder, while the wood fiber acts to provide
strength. Today, Wood Plastic Composite products are made from a
unique combination of plant fiber and recycled plastic according to
high-tech formulas. It offers the best advantages of plastic and wood.
The plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage, and
the wood protects the plastic from UV damage and gives you a natural
feel. Be aware there are vastly different grades of plastic and wood
fibers. If you start with low-quality ingredients, you end up with a
substandard product. Past issues of UV light fading, staining, mold and
mildew have been solved with additional research on the best raw
materials and manufacturing methods.
SWB Global Solutions CompDeck offers all the benefits of the
top composite decking materials but is manufactured with bamboo, the
most eco friendly natural product on the planet. It has characteristics
of high strength and rigidity, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion
resistant and is without formaldehyde; it is a real green environment
protection building material.
Product Comparison
The July 2010 issue of Consumer Reports has selected a number
of Wood Plastic Decks and all plastic PVC decks as their Top Overall
Picks to compete directly in all categories to traditional softwood and
hardwood decking. Consumers Reports with their intensive research
and testing gives Wood Plastic Composites and PVC Composites the
validation needed to be considered a viable product and option.
A number of top Firms in the US are offering Composite Decking
and other products. SWB GLOBAL SOLUTIONS is the only company
that has developed the technology and production methods to combine
all the benefits of 60% bamboo with 40% first level high quality
recycled plastic. The beauty, strength, durability and other
specifications of SWB Global Solutions Bamboo Composite Decking,
exceeds the same qualities as the specifications of the top Composite
Deck Manufactures as listed by Consumers Reports.
SWB GLOBAL SOLUTIONS has its own expert staff that has
extensive knowledge, skill and expertise in product development mill
selection, raw materials selection, each manufacturing step, packaging
and shipping to insure the highest levels of product quality.
