No matter where you go, you will see utility poles. They line our streets and help bring electricity, phones and even television to our homes. But why is the utility poles always wooden and why is there such a demand? Let's take a look at the reason.
Wooden utility poles are considered a product that can be recycled. The average lifespan of a wooden utility pole is around 40 years and once a pole has reached the end of being used, the product can be recycled into a variety of products. The same cannot be said for metal poles.
Another reason why wooden utility poles are in demand is that wooden poles provide a grounding for the amount of electricity that passes above. Without a solid, reliable grounding, the high voltage electricity could travel through the ground and pose a risk to drivers, pedestrians and animals.
Using wooden utility poles is not only a great option since the poles can be recycled once they are no longer needed, but they also provide a type of protection to everyone that passes near them.

There is always demand for wooden products. Using wooden poles in the Telephone Pole industry will be the best idea since it can be recycled after its use. But using wooden poles throughout the country will consume more wood which make a negative impact on environment. This increases the demand for the wood.
