Natures Composites manufactures sustainable, high performing composite products including fencing, decking, landscaping, lumber, and other composite building materials made from recycled HDPE (plastics) and reinforced with wheat straw cellulose. We offer a full line of products in a range of styles and popular finishes that provide a sustainable, cost-effective and highly durable alternative to wood, vinyl and wood-composite materials. Our goal is to continue to chart the path to sustainability through our research & development partnerships with the University of Wyoming, Colorado State University and other nonprofit organizations around the world, plus making contributions to the composites industry to advance and broaden the overall synthetic building materials category. The wheat straw used to produce our sustainable products is an annually renewable resource. Prairie ‘forests’ of wheat straw are grown annually in the American heartland whereas trees require 20 – 40 years of growth before they can be harvested, and timber harvesting has a scientifically proven negative impact on fragile forest ecosystems. Our research & development efforts trace back to 1994 when we first began establishing the technologies of utilizing recycled plastics rather than virgin plastics to help reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. Some plastic can take up to one million years to degrade in landfills, making them ideal materials to use for durable and long lasting products. We use no toxic additives, chemicals or materials in our product or production process, and our plant operations and manufacturing processes are industry-leading in terms of reaching our goal of a “zero waste” footprint.
