Product Photography
We provide genuine factory photos for this line - full board shots, surface texture close-ups, a cross-section cut, installed application photos, and export packaging photos - and can also share photos of the recycled feedstock processing stage on request for buyers who want to document the supply chain visually for a sustainability report or client presentation.
A note on consistency: because recycled feedstock can vary slightly batch to batch depending on its original source stream, we recommend ordering a single project's full quantity from the same production run where possible, and we will flag at quotation stage if a large order needs to be split across multiple production batches so you can plan installation layout accordingly.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Pricing for recycled plastic composite depends partly on the recycled-content ratio requested and on the current market price of recycled feedstock, which can fluctuate more than virgin polymer pricing. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container, and we recommend locking in your recycled-content percentage requirement at quotation stage so pricing and lead time are both accurate for the exact formulation you need.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample pieces | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward first order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing, varying with recycled-content ratio |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Long-term supply agreement | Negotiated pricing, useful for projects that need a stable recycled-content percentage across multiple phases |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with balance against the B/L copy; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger first-time orders, particularly for public-sector buyers whose procurement process requires that payment structure.
Because recycled feedstock pricing can move with regional recycling market conditions, we recommend requesting a fresh quotation if more than a few weeks have passed since your last price check, rather than assuming earlier pricing still holds. We are also happy to discuss a price-hold arrangement for projects with a confirmed but delayed construction schedule, where that is feasible given feedstock market conditions at the time. If your budget approval process requires a fixed quotation valid for a set number of days, let us know that requirement upfront and we will confirm how long we can realistically hold a given price.
OEM & Customization Options
Because this line is frequently procured for projects with formal sustainability reporting requirements, customization conversations here often combine standard technical options with specific documentation requests.
- Recycled-content ratio - formulations can be adjusted toward a specific recycled-content percentage to match a client specification or certification threshold
- Color & surface texture - standard color card, or custom color matching against a Pantone/RAL reference
- Profile development - new decking, fencing, or cladding profiles can be tooled for qualifying order volumes
- Sustainability documentation - recycled-content statements and supporting supplier documentation can be formatted to match what your certification body or tender process requires
- Private label packaging - custom cartons, labels, and printed installation guides under your brand
For a new profile or a specific recycled-content target you have not ordered from us before, we recommend confirming the requirement in writing early, since sourcing the exact recycled feedstock ratio sometimes needs slightly more lead time than our standard virgin-polymer formulations.
We can also help draft the recycled-content wording used on your own product literature or tender submission, based on the actual documented ratio for your order, so the language your sales or marketing team uses matches what we can technically support rather than overstating the environmental claim.
We can also arrange for a factory visit or live video walkthrough of the recycled feedstock intake and sorting process if a client or auditor wants to see the sourcing step directly rather than relying on written documentation alone, which some public-sector tenders specifically request as part of supplier due diligence.
Certification & Quality Control
Because the entire value proposition of this line rests on its recycled content, documentation accuracy matters more here than on almost any other product we manufacture, and we take that seriously in how we track and report it.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| Recycled-content statement | Provided per production batch, stating the approximate recycled plastic percentage used |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| Third-party lab reports | Density, water absorption, and mechanical strength test reports available (SGS/BV/Intertek) |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Our QC process verifies incoming recycled feedstock quality (since recycled plastic can vary more in consistency than virgin polymer) before it enters production, monitors the blend ratio during extrusion, and performs pre-shipment sampling for dimensional tolerance and surface consistency. We can also connect you with our recycled feedstock supplier's documentation if your certification body requires traceability further back in the supply chain than our own facility.
We keep production records tied to each recycled-content batch, so if a specific shipment is later questioned by an auditor or client, we can generally trace it back to the relevant production run and feedstock source. If your project is applying for a specific green building rating (such as LEED or a regional equivalent), let us know which credit category applies so we can confirm our documentation format lines up with what the rating system's reviewers expect.
We recommend requesting the recycled-content statement at the same time you place your order rather than after the goods have shipped, since it is easier for us to tie the documentation directly to the correct production batch numbers before the pallets leave the factory.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
Because recycled feedstock supply and quality can vary more than virgin polymer, we build a little extra buffer into our lead-time estimates for this line to avoid overpromising on formulations that depend on a specific recycled-content ratio.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Output scaled to order backlog and recycled feedstock availability; typically comparable to our standard PE composite line for common formulations |
| Sample lead time | 4-8 working days for standard recycled-content formulations |
| Standard order lead time | 18-28 days after deposit and formulation confirmation |
| Custom mold or recycled-ratio lead time | Additional 20-35 days for a new profile or an unusual recycled-content target |
| Seasonal note | Recycled feedstock pricing and availability can shift with regional recycling market conditions - we will flag any impact on lead time or pricing at quotation stage |
We provide production progress updates and can arrange factory video calls during production so buyers with sustainability reporting deadlines can confirm timing well ahead of shipment.
If your project is on a fixed reporting or opening deadline, we recommend confirming your recycled-content requirement as early as possible in the planning process, since we may occasionally need to source feedstock from more than one supplier to meet a specific ratio at volume, which can affect timing more than it would for a standard virgin-polymer order. We will always flag this possibility upfront rather than after your deposit is paid.
For buyers placing repeat orders on an agreed recycled-content specification, we can generally shorten the confirmation cycle on later orders once the formulation and color have already been validated on a first shipment, since we are no longer starting from scratch on sourcing and blend-ratio testing.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
Shipping for recycled plastic composite follows the same general process as our standard composite lines, with the same attention to careful handling and documentation.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Transit packaging - pallet-stacked, shrink-wrapped, with corner protectors for standard sea freight
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and a recycled-content statement provided as standard; fumigation and third-party inspection certificates available on request
- Damage/shortage claims - please document any container damage with photos at unloading; verified manufacturing defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on the next order
- Installation guidance - installation manuals and fixing-system recommendations are provided for your installation team
Our export team can also help prepare a short supplier summary describing the recycled sourcing process, which some buyers find useful when compiling their own sustainability report or answering client questions about the product's environmental credentials after installation.
If your project involves multiple delivery locations - for example, several branches of the same hotel chain, or a distributed retail rollout - we can also coordinate split shipments to different ports or warehouses from a single confirmed order, provided the total volume still supports reasonable per-shipment freight economics.
We are also glad to provide a short written summary of typical end-of-life handling considerations for this material, which some buyers pass along to their facilities management team so recycled composite decking is disposed of or reprocessed appropriately many years down the line, closing the loop on the sustainability story rather than leaving it unresolved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the recycled content percentage verified?
A: We track the recycled feedstock input ratio during production and can provide a batch-level recycled-content statement; if your project requires independent third-party verification, we can also coordinate a lab test on request.
Q: Does using recycled plastic reduce the board's strength or lifespan?
A: For the recycled-content ratios we commonly offer, mechanical performance is comparable to our standard virgin-polymer composite; we can share test data comparing the two if performance is a specific concern for your application.
Q: Can I request a specific recycled-content percentage for a certification requirement?
A: Yes, within the ranges we currently produce - let us know your required percentage early in the quotation process so we can confirm feasibility and lead time before you commit to a specification.
Q: Is this more expensive than standard composite?
A: Pricing depends on current recycled feedstock market prices relative to virgin polymer, and can sometimes be similar to or even lower than standard composite - we will confirm current pricing at the time of your inquiry.
Q: Does the color range differ from standard composite?
A: The standard color card is generally the same, though recycled feedstock can occasionally introduce very slight batch-to-batch shade variation, which we account for by producing decking boards for a single project from the same production run wherever possible.
Q: Can recycled plastic composite be recycled again at the end of its life?
A: In principle, wood-plastic composite can be reprocessed, though practical recycling access depends on facilities available in your region; we can share general end-of-life guidance if this is relevant to your project's full lifecycle documentation.
