Écoplast in the Headlines: The Success of Our 100% Canadian Eco-Friendly Composite
We have some exciting news to share! This week, the major news outlet Le Soleil featured the exceptional growth of Écoplast and our premium composite decking line, Naturodeck. It is an immense source of pride for our team in Farnham to see our manufacturing expertise and our deep commitment to the circular economy recognized across the province.
Here is a look at what the media is saying about our unique formula, and why more and more homeowners are choosing our products for their outdoor living spaces.
A Durable, Cost-Effective Alternative to Pressure-Treated Wood
Investing in a new deck is a major decision. As highlighted in the article, while premium composite boards represent a higher initial investment than traditional pressure-treated wood, they prove to be much more cost-effective over the long term.
Up to 25 Years of Zero Maintenance
Made of 60% revalorized wood, Naturodeck boards permanently eliminate the seasonal chores of sanding, staining, or painting. Rigorous testing conducted by the Université de Sherbrooke confirms that our engineered composite offers exceptional durability, lasting up to 25 years.
Composite Decking Engineered to Stay Cooler
Unlike raw plastic or low-end composite options that become scorching hot in the summer, Écoplast’s local engineering delivers a board that naturally stays cooler under the sun. Our technology is so effective that we are currently finalizing a major contract to export our products to Cuba for beachfront resort boardwalks! If our composite can stay comfortable under the Caribbean sun, it is more than ready for your Canadian summers.
Circular Economy & Local Purchasing at the Core of Écoplast
Écoplast stands out as a true pioneer in local manufacturing, utilizing an innovative composite technology that is already highly popular in Europe for its strict environmental and building standards.
Our secret? We control every single step of production from A to Z at our facility on Racine Street in Farnham. Our business model relies entirely on upcycling local resources:
-
We purchase hardwood residues directly from local sawmills and molding manufacturers.
-
We collaborate with regional partners, like Exxel Polymer in Bromont, to reclaim and transform surplus plastics.
By choosing Naturodeck, you aren't buying a mass-imported product—you are supporting a local business that transforms local industrial byproduct into premium architectural building materials.
