Wood-plastic composite is still a very new material relative to the long history of natural lumber as a building material, but can be substituted in most non-structural instances. The material typically comes from recycled plastics and wood and is used in some Wildlife Refuges including the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum.
plasticwoods.com is a much BETTER NAME FOR MARKETING.
Do you want to be A Company that sells Wood Plastic Composites? Or do you want to be THE COMPANY PEOPLE COME TO for their Plastic Woods needs? Like Home Depot?
When people go to a place like Home Depot, they're not going to ask the cashier for WPC or wood plastics, they're going to ask for plastic woods.
Customer: "Do you have any plastic woods?"
HD Cashier: "Sure. Try these products here: from our 'Plastic Woods' brand"
When people search for plastic wood, they're looking for a type of wood, not a type of plastic--which is why plasticwoods.com is more suitable than woodplastics.com. For example, 'plastic wood' has 252 million search results on google whereas 'wood plastic' only has 20 million search results and 'wood plastic composite' only has about 2 million search results.

The most widespread use of WPCs is in outdoor deck floors, but it is also used for railings, fences, landscaping timbers, cladding and siding, park benches, molding and trim, window and door frames, and indoor furniture. Manufacturers claim that wood-plastic composite is more environmentally friendly and requires less maintenance than the alternatives of solid wood treated with preservatives or solid wood of rot-resistant species. These materials can be moulded with or without simulated wood grain details.
A major advantage over wood is the ability of the material to be molded to meet almost any desired spatial conditions. It can also be bent and fixed to form strong arching curves. With up to 70 percent cellulose content (although 50/50 is more common), wood-plastic composites behave like wood and can be shaped using conventional woodworking tools. At the same time, they are moisture-resistant and resistant to rot.
A major selling point of these materials is their lack of need for paint as they are manufactured in a variety of colors, but are widely available in grays and earth tones.
