The European Wood Plastics Composites Market 2011 - 3rd Edition
Hackwell Group, Sep 2011, Pages: 250
The previous Hackwell Group reports on WPC in Europe were both well-received with many comments that these reports were the best available in the industry. Since our latest edition in 2006, major changes have taken place in the European and global markets. This has prompted us to publish a third report on the growing European Wood Plastics Composites market in 2011.
Our latest report will cover company and market developments, based on extensive interviews, and in addition will provide a detailed discussion of the technical background to WPC.
This latest report „Wood Plastics Composites in Europe (2011)? has been thoroughly updated and expanded. It will be based on more interviews than ever before. Many of the interviews will be carried out in the last quarter of 2010 with publication as early as practicable in 2011.
WPCs have excellent environmental status and enormous scope for further growth.
The European Wood Plastics Composites Market 2011 - 3rd Edition addresses such questions as:
- What is WPC?
- What are its properties?
- What are the market segments and applications?
- What standards and specifications apply?
- What raw materials go into WPC formulations?
- How easy is WPC to manufacture?
- What are the technical limitations of WPC?
- How can WPCs combine the best features of wood and plastics?
- Where are the current market opportunities in Europe?
- What distribution chains are being employed?
- Who are the major WPC players in Europe and what products do they offer?
- What kind of warranties are being offered?
Where are the greatest opportunities for these materials? And how can Europe compete with Asian and US imports?
WPCs combine the advantages of wood with the processability of plastics They can be sawn, nailed, screwed and worked like wood, yet also extruded and moulded like plastics; they offer greater durability and moisture resistance than softwood. They can also replace exotic tropical hardwoods.
