What are the microwave transparency properties of WPC flower boxes?

WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) flower boxes are popular for their durability and eco-friendly properties, but their interaction with microwave radiation is often overlooked. These composite materials, made from wood fibers and thermoplastics, generally exhibit low microwave transparency due to their dense structure and moisture content.

When exposed to microwaves, WPC flower boxes may absorb some radiation, causing minimal heating. However, they are not designed for microwave use and should not be placed inside microwave ovens. The transparency depends on the specific composition—higher wood content increases absorption, while plastic components may slightly improve transparency.

For gardening applications, this property is irrelevant, but it’s useful to know for DIY or recycling projects. Always check manufacturer guidelines before experimenting with WPC materials in microwave-related contexts.
