Construction
and Landscaping products made from
100% Recycled Plastic
Closing
the recycling loop and providing the sustainable
alternative to traditional construction materials
and outdoor
furniture by diverting British plastic waste from
landfill.
  
Knee-rail fencing,
walkways, kerbing, ground protection, revetments,
street furniture, bollards, car parking and many
other products are now available manufactured from
durable, 100% recycled British plastics that offer
significant performance benefits and cost savings
over traditional construction materials.
Please use the menu
on the left to explore the type of products we
supply and use the price
list to see the complete list and range of
sizes.
  
Low Carbon
Products supply a range of recycled composite
materials that offer the following benefits
-
Extremely durable – LCP recycled plastic products have an
expected life expectancy of many times that of
timber alternatives, with little visible wear
-
Rot and algae proof – No maintenance is
required and with no painting nor preservatives
necessary
-
Crack proof and insect resistant – Recycled plastic
will not crack or dry out and is impervious to
attack by insects
-
Labour saving – There are
significant savings in labour costs due to
reduced maintenance and replacement requirements
-
Non slip – The surface texture
created in the manufacturing process produces a
low slip risk surface and does not require the
addition of chicken wire. Composite materials
also retain latent heat efficiently resulting in
a reduced frost/ice hazard for users of walkways
or hard standing during cold periods.
-
Splinter free – The recycled
plastic we use does not splinter
-
UV resistant – Little or no colour
loss or sunlight damage recorded on products
that have been in-situ for 5+ years
-
Vandal resistant – Due to the surface
texture and the materials used in the
manufacture, the products are more resistant to
graffiti and have proved to be more resistant to
other types of vandalism
-
Less flammable – Our profiles are
more difficult to ignite than their timber
equivalents
-
Lower whole life costs – Whole life costs
are considerably reduced
-
British jobs – Most UK waste is
exported but by buying British we are supporting
our own economy and helping circulate revenue.
Environmental Benefits
Low Carbon Products
plastic composite materials offer the following
environmental benefits
-
Their purchase stimulates demand for
recycled raw materials, closing the loop and
diverting material from landfill.
-
1500 plastic bottles diverted from
landfill for every 1.5 metre section of a
typical raised walkway
-
No preservative required therefore
complies with the requirements restricting the
use of Copper Chromium Arsenate
-
Recycled composite materials are
completely inert and will not leach any
chemicals into water or soil even in wet
conditions
-
Recycled plastic products are
completely recyclable at the end of their useful
lifespan
-
Reduction of energy consumption by 66%
-
Production of only a third of the
sulphur dioxide
-
Production of only half of the nitrous
oxide
-
Reduction of water usage by nearly 90%
-
Reduction of carbon dioxide generation
by two-and-a-half times
-
Conservation of non-renewable fossil
fuels
-
Plastic
production uses 8% of the world's oil
production, 4% as feedstock and 4% during
manufacture and this is eliminated using Low
Carbon Products' profiles.
