Plastic rattan, also called synthetic rattan or artificial rattan, is a man-made weaving material mainly used for outdoor furniture like chairs, sofas, dining sets, tables, and handcrafts like baskets, storage bins, mats, etc. Nowadays, most outdoor rattan furniture is made of plastic rattan.
Plastic rattan, as its name suggests, is totally made of plastic, mostly PE (polyethylene) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Unlike other composite materials, plastic rattan doesn’t contain any natural resources but is purely made of polymer resin and other additives like ABS(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polypropylene, and polystyrene, which makes it a high-performance outdoor furniture weaving material.
