Reduced Carbon Footprint Environmental Benefit of RS Poles Versus Wood

RS poles have noteworthy environmental advantages. Almost all wooden poles currently in use today require chemical treatments to prevent deterioration. RS poles, by comparison, do not need to be coated with Penta, Arsenic or Creosote. Likewise, the manufacturing process does not produce any VOCs or HAPs. As a result, these poles are the most environmentally friendly ones available in the market place.
