"Ivy Terrace™ Furniture is made and assembled in the USA.  Our furniture is responsibly manufactured to last a lifetime and built using recycled materials."

What makes Ivy Terrace™ furniture environmentally friendly?

Here at Ivy Terrace™ we believe that there is more to being "green" than what meets the eye.  To us, it is a complete lifestyle.  We believe that our role in protecting the enviroment starts at our manufacturing facility and ends in your back yard. Every day we make choices to manufacture our line of patio furniture in a waste inhibitive manner and to build a product that is not only made from recycled materials but is also infinitely recyclable.

The recycled plastic lumber used for our furniture is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), UV-inhibited pigment systems, foaming compounds, and selected process additives. The HDPE primary raw material is derived from post-consumer bottle waste, such as milk and detergent bottles or other HDPE post industrial material. This material is cleaned by a decontamination process to a high purity level, which removes contaminants such as food residue, paper, and adhesives. It is then compounded into a rigid board stock material; with the resulting finished product containing over 90% recycled plastic by weight.

"The bottom line is that our materials will stand the test of time.  Our plastic lumber is solid and the color goes all the way through.  It is impervious to natural elements, most chemicals and salt water."

Because HDPE products are made with a single, purified polymer, they are manufactured to exacting, reproducible specifications. They have exceptional resistance to corrosive substances, oil and fuels, insects, fungi, salt spray, and other environmental stresses. They do not absorb moisture; therefore, they will not rot, splinter, or crack. HDPE products have excellent weathering resistance; however, as with other polyolefins, it is possible that the material will fade slightly over the service life of the product. These products require no water proofing, painting, staining, or similar maintenance when used in many exterior applications.
