Plastic lumber well-received in northwest
by Briane C. Dotson
News Editor
The John Inskeep Environ-
■mental Center has been using the
■plastic lumber which it received
■as part of a $30,OCX) grant from
■AMOCO Foam Company.
According to Jerry Herrmann
■of the ELC, $22,000 of the $30,000
■grant has been used and the inter-
■est in the plastic lumber has been
Plastic lumber is a material
I which is made from recycled waste
I material and polystyrene foam, and
■can be used in the place of wood.
The ELC has built many things
out of the plastic lumber, includ­
ing an information station which
is made out of 50 percent plastic
lumber. Also built with the plastic
lumber was a bridge over the fish
pond in the ELC. Two incubation
bridges were also built which will
be used to release small rainbow
trout.
“The incubation bridge is an
experiment to see if the plastic
lumber will have any adverse ef­
fect on the fish,” said Herrmhnn.
“The industry wanted to know if
there are any after effects with the
fish which are really touchy about
their environment.”
There is a chance that the
ELC will make park benches which
would be placed in the Portland
Metro Zoo. Other plans for the
plastic lumber are field stations,
interpretive markers and niches
for animals.
“I have seen no problems with
the plastic lumber. It is very stable
and holds better than wood,” said
Herrmann.
The ELC’s use of plastic
lumber has stirred a lot of interest
in the use,of plastic lumber. Na­
tional Broadcasting Corporation
did a story on plastic lumber which
was seen as far north as Seattle,
Washington, and as far east as
Boise, Idaho.
“I’m getting nervous,” said
Herrmann, ”we are running out
of the plastic lumber and there
are a lot of interested builders.”
There are currently only three
places in North America capable
of producing the plastic lumber.
One is in Canada, another in Iowa,
and the last is at Rutgers Univer­
sity in New Jersey, as part of their
plastic technology program.
