Greenpoly Technology Limited (GTL) aims to recycle waste wood and plastic into tailor-made functional and wood-plastic composites (WPCs) as construction materials. WPC is an eco-friendly construction material made of more than 99% recycled waste wood and plastic collected from construction and manufacturing waste. With its green features and other appealing functions such as anti-bacteria, waterproofing and thermal insulation, the research paper on this novel technology was awarded the Champion Prize of 2015 Environmental Paper Award by The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Apart from licensing the proprietary technology of WPCs, GTL will also offer consultancy services to construction materials companies for tailor-made solutions.
