I doubt that 100% recycled material is used for the following reasons. 1) if the viscosity of the material is not good it will not mold consistently. 2)Contaminants in 100% recycled material will cause part quality problems. 3)All the recycled material would have to be perfectly the same material (ie: PET, etc) and of the same approximate age. Some plastics can only be recycled so many times.

Therefore, people use recycled material, but a certain blend of "new" has to be added for ability to mold, part strength, and quality control. So, I guess it is possible to use 100% recycled, but you are sacrificing molding speed and quality.

Regarding extruding plastic lumber, there is no way 100% recycled material is used because of UV (sunlight). Additives have to be added to provide UV resistance to the plastic lumber otherwise it falls apart in a couple of years. Further, to date I have found nothing to indicate that PLNI or Promold have extruding capabilities. All they can do is injection mold and lumber is not injection molded.
