Explore our best-selling WPC solutions — purpose-built for Brazil's tropical climate, UV intensity, and high-humidity environments.
In the evolving landscape of modern construction and home improvement, Forestar Outdoor has emerged as a global leader in the design, development, and manufacture of premium Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) products. Established in 2008, the company has spent nearly two decades transforming outdoor living spaces, combining the timeless aesthetic appeal of natural wood with the unparalleled durability and sustainability of cutting-edge composite technology.
Forestar utilizes up to 90% recycled content in its manufacturing processes, repurposing waste materials into high-performance products. This drastically reduces landfill waste and provides a superior, eco-conscious alternative to traditional lumber — a critical advantage in Brazil's deforestation-sensitive market.
Unlike natural wood which demands constant seasonal painting, sealing, and staining, Forestar's composite solutions are engineered to resist rot, splintering, cracking, fading, and staining — ensuring outdoor structures remain vibrant and structurally sound for decades in Brazil's demanding tropical conditions.
With a global footprint spanning over 45 countries and more than one million homes successfully transformed, Forestar stands as a benchmark for quality, innovation, and environmental stewardship. The company's expanding presence in South America — especially Brazil — reflects a growing demand for sustainable building materials.
Beyond its physical products, Forestar is dedicated to empowering its clients through education and support. The company's digital resources — including installation guides, how-to videos, and detailed FAQs — provide invaluable assistance for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Driven by a planet-first philosophy, Forestar continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in outdoor design. As the industry moves toward greener building practices, Forestar is at the forefront, proving that luxury, performance, and environmental responsibility can — and should — coexist. Whether it is transforming a small backyard patio in São Paulo or executing a large-scale commercial project in Rio de Janeiro, Forestar Outdoor provides the materials and the expertise to create lasting, beautiful, and sustainable outdoor environments.
Over 15 years of manufacturing excellence — delivering measurable results for clients across Brazil and the globe.
Brazil is one of South America's fastest-growing markets for sustainable construction materials. Discover why WPC is transforming the Brazilian building industry.
Brazil, as the largest economy in Latin America and home to the world's most extensive tropical rainforest, is at a pivotal crossroads between rapid urban development and urgent environmental conservation. The Brazilian construction sector — one of the country's primary economic drivers — is experiencing a seismic shift toward sustainable building materials, and Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) is emerging as the definitive solution.
The Brazilian construction market is valued at over USD 130 billion annually, with green building projects growing at a compound annual rate exceeding 15%. Cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Recife are witnessing a surge in residential condominium developments, luxury resort construction, and commercial infrastructure projects — all of which increasingly specify WPC materials for outdoor applications.
Brazil's tropical and subtropical climate presents unique challenges for traditional wood: extreme UV radiation, high humidity levels, seasonal rainfall, and temperature fluctuations cause rapid deterioration of untreated timber. WPC materials, by contrast, are specifically engineered to withstand these conditions — making them the ideal material choice for the Brazilian market.
🇧🇷 Forestar ships directly to Brazilian ports (Santos, Paranaguá, Rio de Janeiro) with full documentation support for Brazilian customs clearance and INMETRO compliance guidance.
São Paulo's luxury condominium market is specifying WPC decking and cladding for rooftop terraces, pool areas, and façades — driven by LEED certification requirements and HOA sustainability mandates.
Brazil's 7,491 km coastline hosts thousands of resorts, beach clubs, and hospitality venues. WPC boardwalks, decking, and fencing are replacing traditional hardwood across the Northeast coast from Fortaleza to Salvador.
Brazilian municipalities are investing in WPC for public parks, waterfront promenades (orlas), and urban green spaces. Cities like Manaus and Belém are piloting WPC boardwalks as sustainable alternatives in ecotourism zones.
Brazil's agribusiness sector — the world's largest exporter of soy, beef, and coffee — is adopting WPC for farm structures, storage sheds, and rural fencing due to its resistance to moisture, insects, and fungal growth in tropical agricultural environments.
The WPC sector in Brazil is evolving rapidly. Understanding these trends positions Forestar and its Brazilian partners at the leading edge of the market.
Brazil now has over 1,800 LEED-certified projects — the most in Latin America. Architects and developers are actively specifying WPC materials to earn credits under Materials & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality categories, creating a structural demand shift away from virgin timber products.
Brazil's Forest Code (Lei 12.651/2012) and IBAMA enforcement actions have dramatically increased the cost and regulatory complexity of sourcing native hardwoods like Ipê and Cumaru. This legislative pressure is directly accelerating WPC adoption as a compliant, sustainable alternative across the construction sector.
Brazilian platforms like Mercado Livre, Magazine Luiza, and Leroy Merlin Brasil are reporting triple-digit growth in composite decking and cladding sales. The DIY renovation market — particularly in São Paulo's suburban belt and Minas Gerais — is a rapidly expanding channel for WPC products.
Brazilian premium consumers are increasingly willing to pay a 20–35% premium for capped WPC products that offer superior stain resistance and color retention. This trend mirrors mature markets in Europe and North America, signaling Brazil's WPC market is entering a phase of quality-driven maturation.
Brazilian importers and distributors are actively seeking direct factory partnerships with Chinese WPC manufacturers to bypass intermediary markups. The combination of China's manufacturing scale, competitive pricing, and improving product quality makes partnerships like those offered by Forestar increasingly attractive to Brazilian buyers.
Brazil's growing affluent class is investing in modular outdoor living spaces — pergolas, decks, garden rooms, and storage sheds — that integrate WPC as the primary structural and finishing material. This trend is particularly pronounced in Alphaville (São Paulo), Barra da Tijuca (Rio), and Lago Sul (Brasília).
From the Amazon basin to the Atlantic coastline, Forestar WPC materials deliver performance and beauty across every Brazilian environment and application.
