Genuine POLYWOOD
gen•u•ine (adjective): truly what something is said to be; authentic
Back in 1990, we were the first to create outdoor furniture from recycled plastic materials. "Made with genuine POLYWOOD lumber" is a brand promise — our furniture is built to be enjoyed season after season after season. More importantly, our goal is to help create spaces where friends and family can gather, relax, and connect.
Where It All Began...
The beginning of our story may be similar to many entrepreneurial stories — POLYWOOD was founded in a garage by two high school friends with a great idea. But, it's really our founders' original mission of stewardship, to do something meaningful for future generations, that remains at our core today.
"Let's do something meaningful for future generations."
-Doug Rassi, Co-Founder & CEO
Why Furniture?
In the late 1980's government mandated recycling programs were in full swing. As the use of plastic in the U.S. grew, the need to transform the overabundance of recycled plastic into something new was greater than ever. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, in particular, is extremely durable and weather resistant. Outdoor furniture was the perfect application.
On-Site Recycling
Today, POLYWOOD recycles millions of landfill-bound and ocean-bound plastic containers every year, as well as reusing any scrap from the production floor. Truckloads of local, regional, and globally-sourced post-consumer plastic are transformed into genuine POLYWOOD lumber which is then used to construct our wide array of Adirondack chairs, rocking chairs, benches, gliders, deep seating, dining, and more!
Our Design & Engineering Teams are continually developing new furniture and pushing the limits of POLYWOOD lumber.
