Recycled Plastic Tiles: More Likely to Crack?

Using recycled plastic tiles is a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice, but it may come with a downside. The process of recycling plastic can reduce the toughness of the material, making the plastic tiles more brittle and prone to cracking.

This means that while the use of recycled plastic reduces the reliance on raw materials, it may also decrease the durability of the tiles.

For applications such as black PVC corrugated roofing or synthetic Mexican tile roof, where the tiles are subject to various weather conditions and stresses, the increased likelihood of cracking is a concern.

When considering the use of recycled plastic tiles, it is important to weigh the environmental benefits against the potential for reduced durability and the need for more frequent replacements.
