The poles made with recycled plastics from the home offer a sustainable, efficient alternative oriented towards the future that unites the knowledge of the industrial sector with the need to find an adequate use for the amount of garbage that is wasted in the home. How these poles are for the field, with extreme conditions standing without changing their shape. Its solid plastic content allows it to support a weight greater than 1 tone, which is considered a comparative advantage with other cement and / or concrete posts. "This is a product designed for the benefit of farmers and ranchers, with savings in a replacement cycle every 4 to 5 years with the use of other material."
Poles made with recycled plastics offer a better option for the care and protection of the planet since efficiency processes are given to products that are considered unusable, being the best option since they generate lower costs and optimize their durability over time. This process aims to raise awareness of recycling, re-use of products as they have a high impact on the environment.
"On a trip to Houston with my family as we walked along a pier and observing its structure, I had the inspiration to call attention to a new life option with the initiative to design poles with recyclable material (plastic). I wondered how I could do it in Colombia, and find a person to make the machine to press the plastic and try to create my own business in a family lot outside Bogotá. It was a place to start the process. It was not an easy undertaking at first, but with the support of my family and my vision as an ecologist, I wanted to develop an initiative that was profitable and environmentally friendly."
The creators of Ecopostes had the best of intentions along several years of research and trials. In the process they designed machines to produce what is now their star product - fence post and pens with 100% recycled plastic.
