No, HDPE wicker is a synthetic material, while natural wicker is made from organic materials like rattan, bamboo, or reed.

HDPE wicker is designed to mimic the look of natural wicker but offers greater longevity and weather resistance.

Common types of wicker synthetic materials include PVC, PE, HDPE and resin, each with their own unique characteristics and advantages.

1. PVC (polyvinyl chloride): commonly used to make low-cost wicker furniture, easy to clean and maintain, but less durable than other synthetic materials.

2. PE (polyethylene): more durable, with a slightly higher hardness. Wicker furniture made from PE is lighter and easier to move.

3. HDPE (high-density polyethylene): even more sturdy and durable than PE, with a softer texture and better resistance to sunlight.

4. Resin: also known as a liquid plastic, this material is sometimes referred to as "weather-net." It has higher strength and durability compared to other synthetic materials and can even mimic the look and texture of natural materials such as rattan and wood.

HDPE is the best quality material for synthetic wicker, and it is a recyclable material.
