Sustainable Procurement
Our British recycled plastic highway barrier solutions and fencing is durable, economical and sustainable – that’s why they’re being chosen by highways departments and motorway service providers up and down the UK. We’re able to provide accurate life cycle analysis for embedded carbon – a key factor when costing large projects and often an essential element of supplier approval protocols.
We work only with UK partners and third parties, and our products are processed and distributed solely within the UK, ensuring that our business prioritises and supports investment in the British economy. A full life cycle analysis is available to show embodied carbon; the results show that 66% less carbon is emitted by our products than by virgin resin. It’s more difficult to get accurate figures comparing our plastic to timber, as there are too many variables at work, but it’s fair to say that some commercially grown softwood has an outdoor lifespan of as little as five years. When compared to the 25-year guarantee that all our maintenance-free products carry, the benefits are clear.
Payment terms are available for all publicly funded bodies.
