Green Dot’s new optimized pellets provide better processing and superior parts. ### The Aesthetics of Wood & The Processability of Plastic Terratek WC wood-plastic composites (WPC) combine the pleasing look of wood with the functionality and manufacturing ease of plastics. The wood-plastic composites are made with fine wood particles and virgin, reclaimed or recycled plastic to create small, uniform pellets for convenient handling and further processing. ### Better Processing Terratek WC pellets are smaller, spherical and more uniform in size with a greater material consistency. This allows for easier drying and feeding. Smoother edges allow for easier conveying and create fewer fines for less waste in production. ### More Sustainable Terratek WC wood-plastic composites lower the environmental footprint of products by reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded, reducing landfill waste and creating valuable markets for recycled and reused materials. ### Customized Formulations Green Dot’s state-of the-art Product Development Lab can customize formulations to meet specific customer requirements. Pellet size can be optimized for the intended application and can be made with a variety of wood sources and mesh sizes. ### A Wide Variety of Applications Terratek WC is ideal for injection molding and profile or sheet extrusion and can be used to make a wide range of products, such as toys, furniture, and housewares. Now, OEMs and molders can use Green Dot’s wood-plastic composites to make high-quality,durable products that are more sustainable and offer functional and aesthetic advantages over traditional petroleum based plastics.
