As sustainability goals tighten and long-term project performance becomes a core focus, procurement managers are turning to WPC decking as a reliable, cost-effective alternative to traditional wood.

What’s Driving the Shift?

  • Lower Maintenance, Lower Lifecycle Cost
    Traditional wood decks often suffer from cracking, mold, and fading—leading to repeated maintenance and rising operational costs. WPC flooring, especially NatureTough, is moisture-resistant, UV-resistant, and termite-resistant, requiring little to no maintenance for years.

  • Better Durability Under Harsh Conditions
    Procurement managers need materials that perform across climates—whether humid, hot, or coastal. WPC decking is dimensionally stable, won’t rot, and resists corrosion from salt and rain. This is an ideal choice for common areas, boardwalks, or poolside areas.

  • Aligns with Green Procurement Goals
    With global clients under pressure to meet LEED, GRS or carbon-neutral goals, WPC decking—made from recycled plastic and wood fibers—helps reduce environmental impact. It’s free from VOCs and formaldehyde, making it safe for both people and the planet.

  • How to Take the First Step
    If you're sourcing materials for hotels, decks, resorts, residential rooftops or government walkways—WPC decking is no longer just an option. It’s a strategic choice that balances durability, design, and cost control.

NatureTough helps professionals build outdoor spaces that perform and last.
