Modern Plastic furniture has earned a reputation of quality and function that is now used widely in furniture of all types. Heavy picnic tables use recycle plastic boards for tops and seats. Polywood is one of the first companies to begin to harvest the plastic being thrown away in land fills and making plastic lumber to build everything from rocking chairs, to porch swings and outdoor table sets. The plastic really looks like wood, however there is almost no maintenance. The plastic does not chip, peal, splinter, warp or break which are common problem for wood products. This is an environment friendly solution for furniture used at hospitals, campgrounds, parks, residences, prisons, schools, pools, restaurants and hotels. It last for years and usually is constructed with stainless steel. Styles come in Adirondack, Traditional, Mission, Modern, Nautical and commercial contract.

Recycled-content lumber can contain as much as 100% post-consumer plastic or a blend of recycled plastic and recycled wood waste. Buying recycled-content lumber conserves energy and keeps plastic waste out of landfills and incinerators.
