There are so many reasons as to why plastic has achieved a global status of being one of the most prolific materials in the world. Despite the multitude of bad press that it has received over the years from various sectors, plastic has remained to be a ubiquitous material that has, by all counts, stood the test of time.
This list counts down eight major reasons as to why it is a wise idea to replace things with plastic – including, and most especially, furniture! In this day and age, what are the advantages of replacing your wooden furniture with plastic?
In uncertain times like the present, the budget should and is perhaps the most vital consideration of every individual, family, or household. As circumstances can be very unpredictable during a global public health crisis such as the one we are all facing right now, it is of utmost importance to choose a product that is easy on the budget and offers great value for money. Expensive and extravagant purchases should be delayed to cut costs as much as possible.
Plastic ticks all the boxes when it comes to affordability and great value for money. Plastic furniture is low cost and will definitely not hurt your pocket no matter how many you buy.
When you think about it, it is useless if one buys furniture at a very affordable rate yet spends a significant sum in maintaining the furniture. Maintenance of furniture can be a very significant, if not annoying household expenditure.
The good news is that this cannot be said with plastic! Plastic in itself is durable and sturdy that it needs no actual maintenance. You simply need to handle your furniture with care so that it is able to last for a long, long, time.
One natural way to test the durability of any material, like furniture for example, is by exposing it to natural elements – such as water?
Have you ever had the experience of buying expensive furniture only to later have it ruined by water? Getting your wooden furniture soaked in rain water on the porch for instance, or having your child accidentally spill a cup of water on your brand new couch – things like these can easily expose the weakness of the material of your furniture. Worse, this can also lessen the initial beauty and appearance of the furniture.
With plastic furniture, all you need to do is wipe your chair clean, let it dry for a few minutes, and voila! Plastic furniture stands the test of the elements and you can go back to using them as if they are as good as new.
Termite infestation is one of the worst things that can happen to furniture. Termites severely damage furniture and render them to be completely useless in just a few years. Warding off termites and trying to prevent them from destroying your furniture also entails additional cost. Indeed, one can only avoid this by opting to use plastic furniture instead. Plastic furniture is termite free so you are guaranteed to have them with you for a long amount of time.
Versatility, when it comes to furniture, simply means that you can use the furniture for a variety of purposes, a good number of locations, and with as many people as you possibly can. Plastic furniture truly blends well in any part of your home or personal space. You can have it both indoors and outdoors, for various occasions and life events. All you need to do is add some extra layers such as seat covers, ribbons, or purchase a variety of colorful plastic furniture and mix and match them for specific occasions.
For homes with children living in them, the choice of furniture is also vital because parents need to ensure that their children are safe and comfortable with or without them being in the house. Furniture with rough edges or pointed corners do not make a baby-proof home, so these should be replaced with furniture that is friendlier and safer for little ones. This makes plastic furniture an excellent choice for parents who are baby-proofing their homes. When it comes to these little cherubs, it is always a wise choice to opt for plastic furniture.
Indeed, recycling is one of the best ways to ensure that the Earth’s resources remain sustainable for everyone, including the future generations. In this manner, plastic is actually front and center when it comes to environmental sustainability. Rather than looking at plastic as a potential detriment to nature, it is high time to do a major paradigm shift and look at the use of plastic as a means to conserve resources. Besides, plastic does not take away from nature the way wood furniture does, as the latter is directly responsible for the depletion of earth’s resources.
Plastic is often given a bad reputation for not being environmentally friendly. However, very few people have stopped to think that it is waste segregation that is causing environmental problems and NOT the use of plastic itself. When plastic is used responsibly and efficiently, it is by no means a cause of pollution or environmental degradation. Unlike the use of wood for furniture making, plastic does not directly take away from environmental resources. Instead, it gives everyone another option to preserve environmental resources and opt to use another material that is sturdier, more enduring and definitely environment-friendly. This means that using plastic helps you conserve and preserve the environment.
Plastic furniture does not hurt the environment and it even prevents deforestation. Imagine how many trees can be preserved when one opts for plastic furniture instead of opting to buy furniture that is made of hardwood?
Truly, plastic is not at all as bad as others make it seem to appear. It is actually a very useful material that when used efficiently will not only last long, but also offers great value for money and helps preserve the Earth’s already fragile resources.
