Do you know what a recycled plastic pole is? Can you imagine a plastic pole supporting a sign or a streetlight? Have you ever seen one?
Well, they do exist, and even if they go unnoticed by many, they are already part of the urban and highway landscape. You might wonder, then, what society gains from this and whether it is a safe solution.
Yes, plastic poles are safe, even more so than those made of concrete or any other material. In fact, the great gain for society relates to safety.
To explain better, if hit by a vehicle, the material damage to the vehicle will be reduced, as well as the risk of severe consequences for the vehicle’s occupants.
Collapsible Poles
This effect is only possible thanks to collapsible poles, a technology designed precisely for this purpose. When a collision occurs, the pole gives way, reducing the impact of the crash.
Such a benefit is achieved through the properties of plastic. In the manufacturing of the pole, this raw material can be processed to fulfill structural functions. At the same time, it can be a more flexible and safer structure for urban roads, highways, and freeways.
Sustainable Poles
Sustainable poles are a trend. Their main raw material is plastic. Besides producing a lighter structure that offers more safety, it is also sustainable.
Both virgin plastic poles and those made from recycled plastic meet sustainability requirements. In the case of poles made from virgin plastic, it’s important to note that they are 100% recyclable.
Recycling allows solid waste, instead of being discarded into the environment, to return to the economy, reverting to its raw material state.
Recycled Plastic Poles
This raw material can help shape a new recycled plastic pole, which is one of the products in our line. It carries a strong symbolism, reflecting Ecoposte’s commitment to road safety and sustainability.
Recycling not only prevents improper plastic disposal in the environment but also reduces dependence on natural resources. This contributes to strengthening a cleaner and more sustainable economy.
