Why Local Authorities Choose Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture

  • Built for public-sector environments — recycled plastic will not rot, rust or splinter, making it perfectly suited to parks, civic spaces, healthcare estates and community facilities.
  • 25-year guarantee — long service life supports whole-life value assessments and public-sector procurement decisions, with fewer replacements over time.

  • No maintenance required — no painting, staining or preservative treatments required, helping councils and government estates reduce routine maintenance costs and staff time.
  • Totally weatherproof — resistant to rain, frost, UV exposure and moisture. Our products retain their appearance and structural integrity, even with year-round outdoor use.
  • Vandal-resistant — our non-porous, recycled plastic construction makes damage and graffiti tough, meaning repair callouts and replacement expenditure are kept low.
  • Supports sustainability targets — our high-density recycled plastic is fully recyclable at end of life, helping public bodies meet Net Zero, circular economy and sustainable procurement objectives.

It’s actually the material of choice for the Environmental Agency and a number of conservation and wildlife organisations.

Maintenance High. Annual staining, sanding, varnishing and chemical treating needed. Zero. Never needs painting, staining or oiling. Easy to clean with basic washing.

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.

Case Studies: Recycled Plastic For Local Authorities & Councils

It’s in Nottingham are on a mission to turn grey areas of the city green. They worked with a local architect to incorporate our parklets into the streets, which are now used to grow food for the college and community.

“The parklet was our first step into environment and sustainability, and it’s enabled us to talk to lots of our members, and it’s promoted sustainability to a wider audience, so it’s been really instrumental in our Greening strategy.”

Train station seating with planters

Bristol City Council is rejuvenating its high street through the City Centre and High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme. Our planters and parklets were used in the Stockwood Pocket Park, each adorned with a decorative text panel. 

“The idea was to create a space from planters and seats, where people could enjoy a book from the library or a coffee from the Bristol High Street. We were then able to collaborate with Bold Brave Dramas’ audio tour as an extra layer to help celebrate and explore the community relationship with the library, Stockwood Open Space, and the High Street.”

Calderdale Council approached us with a bespoke order for octagonal, engraved recycled plastic benches for the Wool Shops shopping centre in Halifax. We were happy to take on the challenge!
