Oncor Justin Limited

Oncor Recycled Christmas trees are made of 100% recycled PVC plastic instead of new plastic, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuels in the production process. All Oncor Christmas trees are also made from non-toxic PVC with tin-based stabilizers instead of lead. We use only the best quality raw materials and tree parts to give all Oncor trees a minimum 30-year product life. Therefore, consumers can reuse our trees to make 30 or more joyful Christmases eco-friendly. Oncor green boxes are made from strong corrugated recycled material cardboard with a transparent resin coating on the surface to resist dampness. Consumers can therefore continually reuse our boxes to store Oncor trees after Christmas. All Oncor tree trunks are made with a unique technology of paint-coating both sides of the metal pipes and all wire branches to prevent rust for at least 30 years. As such, there will be no rust stains in the tree box when it is opened for Christmas.

1. Hooked trees can support more decorations than hinged trees and are easier to shape branches tip by tip. Thus, hooked trees may look fuller after shaping. 2. Hinged trees are heavier and more difficult to shape, but have the advantage of being a little faster to set up as a whole.

The stated height of each Oncor Recycled Christmas tree includes the stand. As well, some of the top tip of Oncor trees are folded in half and therefore must be straightened in order to reach the tree's stated height.

Our Purpose is to make Christmas eco-friendly by supplying Recycled Christmas trees to eco-friendly consumers and responsible buyers for 30 to 50 or more joyful Christmases.

Our Just Cause is to build a better world in which people can embrace using Recycled materials more often, Reuse products with longer product lives, and continuously Reduce daily waste, thereby making our planet a better place.

While most artificial Christmas trees are manufactured with virgin (newly produced) PVC or PE plastic, Oncor Christmas trees contain 100% recycled PVC plastic. By using recycled plastic, Oncor both minimizes the environmental impact of our Christmas trees as well as upcycles a commonly-disposed of material at the same time. In fact, virgin PVC produces 15.84 times more emissions than recycled plastic.

1. A large majority of the environmental impact of Christmas tree production occurs during the manufacturing/farming of the Christmas tree and during the transportation of the tree to the consumer's home. 2. By offering Recycled Christmas tree with the longest product life, Oncor significantly reduces the overall environmental impact of Christmas tree ownership. 3. With a product life of 30 to 50 years or more, Oncor trees result in fewer Christmas trees needing to be produced or cut down and consequently less emissions-intensive car journeys being made.

1. In keeping with our purpose: "Making Christmas Eco-Friendly", Oncor has opted to not produce pre-lit Christmas trees as most tree lights are prone to malfunction within a few years after purchase. 2. Consumers wishing to reuse pre-lit trees for many years may not have the required skills to properly take down, store, and set up these trees annually. There are many fire accidents and electric shocks caused by incorrect usage of pre-lit trees. 3. Pre-lit trees are pre-wired and strung with lights that cannot be removed from the trees, even when consumers want to change the colour of the lights or to replace some damaged lights a few years after purchase. 4. Pre-lit trees cannot be reused for 30+ years as Oncor Recycled trees can. As well, pre-lit trees may be a fire hazard to residential properties and can contain toxic heavy metal elements such as lead.

Oncor is a values-driven enterprise. We have opted to not produce any PE Christmas tree because PE trees are made of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), with very high Melt Flow Index (MFI), by plunger type injection moulding machine, therefore, the tips of PE leaves cannot be injected with 100% recycled PE plastic. As such, PE trees are not eco-friendly.

1. The Recycled PVC plastic material used in all Oncor Recycled Christmas trees does not need treating by flame retardant chemicals. 2. PVC is by nature a flame retardant plastic as defined by its limiting oxygen index score. 3. In fact, PVC is an inherently fire resistant plastic, the only exception among the general-purpose plastics, since it contains more than 50% of chlorine. 4. When PVC products are burned, hydrogen chloride gas resulting from thermal cracking slows down the continuous combustion reaction and prevents burning progress by warding off the PVC product surface from oxygen in the air.

Yes, Oncor Christmas trees are made from tin-based recycled PVC plastic instead of lead-based PVC plastic. Regular testing is conducted to ensure that our Christmas trees adhere to all applicable regulatory standards. For the results of our most recent PVC plastic lab tests, please email us.
