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.

Highways England chose our Hebden X and G40 ground reinforcement grids for the Chelmer Pass in Essex. These grids allow grass to grow on the outskirts while offering a natural drainage flow for rain and water.
Why Choose British Recycled Plastic Highway Fencing Systems vs Timber
| Feature/Metric | Traditional Timber (Treated Softwood/Hardwood) | British Recycled Plastic – Premium Recycled Polyolefin Blend |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | High. Annual staining, sanding, varnishing and chemical treating needed. | Zero. Never needs painting, staining or oiling. Easy to clean with basic washing. |
| Lifespan & Durability | 5–10 years is typical, even with regular treatment. Rots, warps and cracks. | 25+ years guaranteed. Impervious to rot, insects, frost and damp. Will not crack. |
| Safety | Splinters over time and cracks, creating liability risk. Absorbs moisture, encouraging moss. | 100% splinter and crack -free. Non-porous — does not absorb water, resists moss and algae. |
| Vandalism & Fire | Vulnerable to carving and surface damage, spray-painting or bring ignited. | Graffiti easily washes off with solvent. Highly resistant to surface burns. |
| Environmental Impact | Relies on felling trees, contributing to deforestation and loss of carbon-storing woodland. Needs repeated replacement over time. | Made from recycled UK plastic waste — keeping trees in the ground and plastic out of landfill. Fully recyclable at end of life. |
| Total Lifecycle Cost | Low purchase price but high recurring costs: treatment, replacement parts, and labour. | Higher upfront cost but zero ongoing maintenance. Lower whole-life ownership costs due to minimal maintenance and replacement requirements. |
