Composite outdoor flooring opens up a new track for green building materials

In 2026, China’s support policies for the new materials industry will continue to be implemented, and multiple key scientific research achievements in the field of composite materials will achieve industrialization breakthroughs. Outdoor composite flooring represented by wood plastic and high-performance fiber composite panels will usher in a window period of large-scale development. With its core advantages of low-carbon recycling, weather resistance and durability, it has become the preferred building material for new urbanization, rural revitalization and green building construction.
Relying on the joint efforts of industry university research innovation, multiple technologies in the field of composite materials in China will be mass-produced by 2026, targeting the shortcomings of traditional outdoor building materials. In terms of recycling technology, the biodegradable epoxy resin composite system has been industrialized, with a recovery rate of 95% for finished board products. The recycled fibers and resin can be recycled to create new flooring, reducing the carbon footprint by more than 42% compared to traditional anti-corrosion wood. This completely solves the industry problem of difficult recycling and high pollution of thermosetting composite materials.
Industry experts have stated that in recent years, there has been an emerging demand for household photovoltaic supporting courtyard and balcony paving, which has developed in synergy with the photovoltaic industry, forming a new model of integrated application of “new energy+green building materials”. The export market is recovering synchronously, and low-carbon composite flooring, with complete carbon footprint certification, avoids EU carbon tariff barriers and continues to increase its export scale to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. With the continuous release of policy dividends and the continuous iteration of independent and controllable technologies for core materials, composite outdoor flooring will gradually replace solid wood, cement, and ordinary plastic panels, becoming the mainstream material in the fields of green building and outdoor landscape. It will continue to cultivate new quality productivity for the building materials industry and help promote the green and low-carbon transformation of urban and rural construction.
