Creating Sustainable & Inclusive Accessible Spaces with Recycled Plastic
Commercial-Grade, Wheelchair Accessible Picnic Tables | Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture | Weatherproof For Year-Round Use
British Recycled Plastic is committed to supporting organisations creating inclusive outdoor spaces for people of all abilities. We can provide wheelchair-friendly picnic tables, reduced mobility benches, raised beds and ground reinforcement systems, all designed to make parks, healthcare settings and community areas easier to enjoy. These durable, low-maintenance products combine inclusive design with long-term performance and sustainable material choices.
Why Choose Recycled Plastic For Accessible Spaces
- Designed around inclusive outdoor use — wheelchair-friendly picnic tables, accessible seating, and ground reinforcement grids help make parks, gardens, healthcare sites and community spaces easier for people with different mobility needs.
- 25-year guarantee — long service life provides confidence for councils, healthcare providers, and community groups investing in permanent accessibility improvements.
- Low maintenance for organisations — no painting, staining or preservative treatments are required, reducing upkeep across shared outdoor areas and keeping accessible facilities ready for use.
- Accessible & sustainable — manufactured from recycled plastic and fully recyclable at end of use (we even offer a take-back scheme), organisations can improve inclusion while supporting Net Zero, circular economy and sustainable procurement objectives.
- Weatherproof and splinter-free — recycled plastic will not rot, warp or splinter when exposed to rain, frost or UV, helping maintain safe, comfortable surfaces and seating.
- Robust in busy public spaces — our high-density plastic stands up to heavy use while remaining easy to clean, making it suitable for parks, care settings and other high-traffic environments.
Recycled Plastic Accessible Outdoor Furniture
For any organisation looking to provide fully inclusive outdoor spaces, British Recycled Plastic’s accessible picnic tables are an excellent choice. Our tables can accommodate those with limited mobility, as well as single- or double-wheelchair access. These tables are ideal for parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and community centres.
Our Hebden grids are Part M compliant, helping you create gravel paths that are fully accessible for wheelchair users. These grids are designed to stabilise gravel and other loose materials, ensuring that pathways remain firm, level, and easy to navigate for all users.
We’re already trusted by National Trust, the RSPB, and Forestry England.

Inclusive Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture Case Studies
Charity organisation One Fylde provides support, accommodation and activities for adults and young people with learning disabilities. The community group opted for three of our Batley Walkthrough picnic tables to create a fully inclusive space.
The Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust chose our accessible benches for St George’s Hospital in Stafford. The facility supports older people with mental health issues. Its shared garden provides a calm and peaceful space for patients and staff.
After a chance conversation on holiday with a lady who works at a care home, we redesigned our Bradshaw and Brimham picnic tables to be double-wheelchair accessible. We then sent both products to Project Colt in Calderdale for evaluation.
