Durable, Outdoor Solutions For Housing Associations
Why Choose British Recycled Plastic for your Housing Association?
Supporting Sustainability Goals ♻️
Many housing associations are increasingly focused on sustainability, aiming to reduce their environmental impact. British Recycled Plastic products are made from 100% recycled UK waste, helping to divert plastic from landfills and reduce the need for new plastic production. This supports housing associations in meeting sustainability goals while also providing tenants with high-quality outdoor spaces.
Furthermore, well-maintained outdoor areas equipped with durable, low-maintenance furniture and infrastructure contribute to tenant satisfaction and well-being. By investing in high-quality, sustainable materials, housing associations can create environments that encourage outdoor activity, social interaction, and a sense of community among residents.
Further Info For Housing Professionals
Long-Lasting Fencing: Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Durability
Recycled plastic Fencing is an ideal choice for housing developments, providing durable boundaries, security, and visual appeal. Unlike traditional wooden fencing, it resists rot, insects, and weather damage, reducing the need for repairs in the UK’s damp climate.
With no need for treatments like varnishing or painting, its whole-life cost is significantly lower than timber. This makes it a cost-effective solution for housing associations managing tight budgets, freeing up funds for other priorities.
Picnic Tables and Benches for Communal Spaces
Outdoor spaces are vital for promoting tenant well-being, and communal areas with seating encourage social interaction and outdoor activities. Picnic tables and benches made from recycled plastic offer the perfect solution for these spaces. Unlike wooden furniture, which can degrade over time, recycled plastic seating is resistant to weather and heavy use. It won’t splinter, crack, or rot, making it both a safer and more durable option for public spaces.
Hebden Grids: Permeable Parking for Flood Mitigation
Managing parking areas is a key concern for housing associations, especially in preventing surface flooding. Hebden grids, made from recycled plastic, provide a permeable solution for car parks and pathways, enabling natural water drainage and supporting SUDS compliance, often reducing the need for planning permission.
Beyond parking, Hebden grids create durable, accessible pathways, ensuring safe navigation for all tenants, including those with mobility challenges. Their strength and longevity make them a reliable, long-term solution for housing estates.
Bollards and Planters: Protecting Green Spaces and Delineating Areas
Unregulated parking on grass verges can lead to damage and degradation of green spaces. Recycled plastic bollards provide an effective solution for delineating parking areas and preventing vehicles from encroaching on pedestrian spaces or green areas. Bollards made from recycled plastic are resistant to weather and impact, ensuring that they remain functional and attractive over time.
Planters are another versatile product that can enhance outdoor areas, providing both a decorative and functional solution. Placed strategically, planters can act as barriers while also improving the aesthetics of communal spaces by introducing greenery. Because they are made from recycled plastic, these products are durable and require little to no maintenance, ensuring they continue to look great for years.
Reducing Whole-Life Costs: The Financial Advantage of Recycled Plastic
One of the most significant benefits of recycled plastic products is the reduction in whole-life costs. While the initial investment in recycled plastic may be higher than traditional materials like wood, the long-term savings are considerable. Recycled plastic products are virtually maintenance-free, meaning housing associations can avoid the recurring costs associated with repairing or replacing degraded timber.
A report from WRAP highlights how switching to sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic, can lead to substantial cost savings by reducing maintenance needs and extending the lifespan of outdoor structures. For housing associations managing large portfolios of properties, this can result in significant budget savings over time.
