What are the differences between using synthetic versus natural fibers in WPC animal sculptures?

When creating WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) animal sculptures, the choice between synthetic and natural fibers significantly impacts the final product. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, offer durability, weather resistance, and consistent texture, making them ideal for outdoor installations. Natural fibers, like jute or hemp, provide an organic aesthetic and biodegradability but may require more maintenance and lack the same longevity.

Cost is another factor: synthetic fibers are often cheaper and easier to source, while natural fibers align better with eco-conscious projects. Environmental impact also varies; synthetics rely on petroleum-based materials, whereas natural fibers are renewable but may involve higher water usage in production.

Ultimately, the decision depends on the sculpture’s purpose, location, and desired sustainability. Both options have unique advantages, allowing artists to tailor their work to specific needs.
