That's a great question and super important for keeping your outdoor space looking neat! Our plastic outdoor trash cans are specifically engineered to be highly resistant to UV rays. We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene resins that are compounded with UV inhibitors during the manufacturing process. This additive acts like a sunscreen for the plastic, significantly slowing down the degradation process caused by prolonged sun exposure.
You can expect our cans to resist fading, becoming brittle, or cracking for many seasons. While no plastic is completely immune to the sun forever, this formulation ensures excellent color retention and structural integrity. For the longest life, we still recommend placing them in a shaded area if possible, but you can trust they are built to handle direct sunlight much better than standard plastics. They are designed to be durable and reliable, season after season.
