WELCOME
Extruwood, a division of South Africa’s leading PET recyclers, Extrupet, is a company dedicated to creating high quality wood alternatives, made from 100% recycled plastic. Established in 2013, the company is forging ahead with its goal to provide durable and environmentally friendly products across various industries, but with a focus on pallets.
WHY PLASTIC?
With dwindling wood reserves and the high costs of wood importation, South Africa needs an alternative to natural wood for the manufacture of pallets. Using recycled plastic not only creates a superior product; it allows for a big reduction of carbon emissions and supports recycling.
Although more expensive to produce than wood, the longevity of the plastic product counters the initial capital outlay, with considerable savings over time – a real value for money product!
