The use of plastic is often frowned upon and we cannot ignore the negatives which surround the material. However, in the ground protection industry, particularly for the use of equipment mats, it is often the better, safest, most sustainable and environmentally friendly option compared to its alternatives. Overall, construction matting promotes the positive use of HDPE plastic. Let's break down the most common problems associated with HDPE plastic equipment mats and explore how we challenge or combat them.

Due to its robust nature, plastic is difficult to dispose of. It often ends up polluting our soils, rivers and oceans then causes harm to the creatures that inhabit them. To help address this problem, we only use post-industrial recycled plastic equipment mats. We use mats that were previously waste, generated from the manufacturing process.
Some argue that HDPE would disintegrate if left for thousands of years, but this has not been demonstrated or proven yet. So ultimately, it is not compostable, which of course is not good for the planet. To combat this issue, we recycle and repurpose all our unwanted plastic equipment mats. We never send them to landfill.
Household plastic, which we are all familiar with, is almost impossible to repair. We often end up throwing away any of our plastic possessions which crack or split. Plastic becomes sharp and quite dangerous when broken. In the construction industry, HDPE plastic is also difficult to repair however it is almost impossible to break too. Our plastic ground protection mats are very flexible and follow ground contours. Crafted from robust, high-grade HDPE, we confidently assure you that they will not crack or bend.
Plastic equipment mats are often subject to rubber shoe soles and tyre marks however our plastic equipment mats are all black to prevent them from looking worn and carrying obvious stains. We also regularly jetwash our trackway mats to keep them clean and prevent stains and surface damage.
Often, when something is low value, we don't preserve it like we would a high-value item. Plastic is notoriously cheap to make and often sold cheaply too. In our sector, our plastic equipment mats differ from this characterization. While they serve as a cost-effective alternative to aluminium trackway and may not fetch a high scrap value, they are crafted with high-quality plastic.
'As the world strives for a more sustainable future, the role of HDPE is expected to increase. Innovations in recycling, biodegradable materials and light weight continue to drive the HDPE market forward. HDPE focuses on reducing environmental impacts and meeting the needs of various industries, so it continues to be the material of sustainable tomorrow.'

Among Wood ground mats, Steel ground mats, and composite ground mats, only composite ground protection mats have comprehensive and perfect performance. Check out the comparison chart below and you will recognize why we recommend composite ground mats.
Ground protection mats can quickly build working platforms or temporary roads on mud, sand, rocks, grass, slopes, and other road conditions. Check this link then you can get more details When do you need to use ground mats?
The material used for composite ground mats is generally HDPE or UHMWPE. People will have a question, isn't this composite material the PE we are familiar with? Is this kind of ground mat strong, won't it be crushed when a car passes on it? After watching the test video below, you will change your mind.
HDPE ground mats can be passed by people, vehicles, and trucks. The mats are connected together one by one, making the road smooth and not slippery, nor will it become slippery due to rainfall. These advantages are not available in wood mats. This allows us to transport safely and efficiently from origin to destination.
For heavy equipment, such as crawler cranes, and excavators, is the composite ground mat not effective? No, our R&D team has developed a heavy-duty ground protection mat for large and heavy equipment.
I think the answer must be yes. Companies won't turn down composite mats with such a high return on investment. One investment can be used repeatedly for 2-3 years. This is the most important reason why we recommend this product the most.
Composite mats are stable in quality and easy to link to form various temporary roads or work sites. The weight is 1/7 of steel mats, and the tear resistance is no less than steel. It has a non-slip pattern on it so it won't get slippery on rainy days. It will not be damaged by insect bites or rain erosion like wood mats. These advantages save a lot of hidden costs for companies.
Due to the lightweight of Composite mats, this advantage not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the company's transportation expenses.
