Altree: The Alternative To Trees
Altree is a new plastic lumber composite made from pine or juniper wood fibers and recycled
plastic milk bottles. It offers
many benefits compared to solid wood for
meeting your non-structural outdoor needs. No more expensive to purchase than plywood,
Altree saves you money with its low maintenance and replacement costs.
Altree: The Environmentally Friendly Plastic Wood
- Uses all parts of pine, juniper, or invasive shrubs, including bark, branches, and needles
- Uses trees that must be cleared to reduce risk of catastrophic wildfires
- Removal and use of invasive woody shrubs restores watershed quality
- Provides an economically viable use for recycled thermoplastics
- Reduces waste buried in landfills
Altree: Strong, Durable, Long-Lasting, Affordable Wood Composite
Altree is currently available for such uses as
- Exterior signs
- Interior signs
- Recognition plaques
- Dimensional letters

Larger signs and products, like landscape timbers, park benches, picnic tables, trash can holders,
