Wood-plastic composites and natural wood CO2 reductions Compare

A forest carbon sequestration WPC: the application of WPC substitute natural wood, protect the forest. According to scientific research, forest growth 1m3 per timber about 1.83 tons of carbon dioxide can absorb and release 1.62 tons of oxygen. According to WPC product characteristics: the "one ton of wood-plastic material can be converted timber 2.5 m3, the available volume close to 100% (and logs an average volume of less than 60%)." So in actual use at least one ton of wood-plastic material is equivalent to 3.50 m3 of natural wood, the production of one ton of wood-plastic material and replace wood applications, the equivalent absorption (emission reduction) 6.4 tons of carbon dioxide and release 5.67 tons of oxyg

2, WPC itself carbon sequestration benefits: production of raw materials, primarily wood fiber biomass (such as straw, sawdust, etc.), such as by conventional treatment methods incineration of these materials, there will be a lot of carbon dioxide emissions, so the wood production of carbon dioxide emission reduction process itself is plastic material. Here approximate calculation of carbon dioxide emissions from the burning intensity of its main raw material through carbon content of wood.wood composite fencing panels white

According to statistics, currently on the market with polyethylene (PE) plastic composite material consisting mainly, about 65%, where polyethylene plastic composite material, for example, to calculate the carbon content of wood-plastic composites. WPC lignocellulosic material carbon is about 28% wt, polyethylene carbon content of about WPC's 43% wt. Therefore WPC carbon element content of about 71% wt, ie one ton of carbon sequestration WPC is about 710 kg. That produce one ton of wood-plastic material, which itself can achieve carbon sequestration 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

By calculation shows: manufacture one ton of wood-plastic material for one ton of carbon dioxide emissions, the application of WPC substitute natural wood is 17.6 tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be achieved (16 + 2.6-1).lowes wood deck kits

3. Carbon dioxide emission reduction benefits WPC analysis: the current annual domestic WPC about 200,000 tons, so the application through the production of wood-plastic composite materials, for countries to achieve 3.52 million tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions. In the current domestic market price of carbon dioxide emissions trading around � 10 / tonne (� 1 ��10.30 yuan) calculations to 200,000 tons of wood-plastic material terms, then can create carbon dioxide emissions annually through the economic value of about 352 million yuan.decking material options

In summary, the various advantages of WPC has not only fits the requirements of the construction industry, the furniture industry, logistics, transportation, packaging, municipal gardens and other areas, but also to a partial solution to rural areas, forestry and recycling of plastic waste resources and oil resources consumption problem. Research institutes in the country and part of the backbone enterprises learn from innovation based on the foreign advanced technology, China WPC manufacturing process continue even ahead of approaching the world level, China WPC industry has therefore become one of the few domestic manufacturing industry, with Europe equal dialogue developed on the same industry platform emerging industries. Support, protect, and promote the development of this emerging industry has a significant and visible demonstration effect and practical significance, and Chinese wood industry can help and support of the government toward the direction of sustainable development continue to scale new heights.
