British Recycled Plastic supplies durable, economical, and sustainable outdoor furniture to Government institutions, including the Military and Local Authorities, across the UK.
Government Suppliers Of Outdoor Furniture
As a sustainable procurement supplier for outdoor furniture, we are able to provide a range of information relating to ESG and Social Value – a key factor for consideration where public expenditure is concerned and often an essential element of supplier approval protocols.
You can rely on our experienced operation to fulfil your outdoor furniture order with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss. Payment terms are available for all publicly funded bodies.
Military Suppliers For Outdoor Furniture
Many of our outdoor furniture products already reside in numerous government and MOD sites around the UK. As well as our standard models, we also offer accessible versions of our products for users with a range of mobility needs. A large range of colour ways are available, both in block colours and the combinations of your choice, offering easy branding opportunities, as well as the option to colour-zone areas of larger sites. If security is a concern, fixing kits are available for both hard and soft ground.
Elegant, sustainable and robust steel and recycled plastic benches enhance any built area. With a 25 year guarantee and fixable feet, our outdoor furniture is a great addition to any town centre or other area of hard landscaping.
After discovering that most UK steel is recycled, we designed a bench range combining strong, classic steel frames with warmer, comfortable recycled plastic slats. Starting with the backless Shibden, we added a backrest (Selby), armrests (York), and, in response to accessibility requests, the Loxley—featuring middle armrests and an elevated seat for improved mobility. To minimise embodied carbon, we use a zinc primer with a durable powder coating instead of hot-dip galvanising.
British Recycled Plastic X-Grid permeable paving is an excellent choice for lay-bys and carparks, providing an incredibly strong surface for heavy vehicles to drive and park on, as well as mitigating and alleviating surface flooding. The grids are SUDS-approved and can be filled with 14-20mm angular chippings, which provide a stable surface and are big enough to avoid migration into the tyre tread of large vehicles. They can also be backfilled with topsoil and grass seed for a lawned finish. They’re safe to use on gradients of up to 1 in 10 and do not require pegging below 1 in 20. X-Grids are also Part M-approved and can be used for the provision of wheelchair-friendly public access pathways.
Why Should Government Organisations switch to Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture?
There are many benefits of switching from timber to recycled plastic:
Firstly, recycled plastic outdoor furniture absorbs no moisture, so it will never rot, split or splinter, no matter how damp the environment in which it’s used. As a result, replacement and refurbishment requirements are immediately reduced.
Secondly, our outdoor furniture requires no maintenance whatsoever, offering even more reductions to your total-life costs.
Thirdly, British Recycled Plastic outdoor furniture chemically inert, making it resistant to the growth of mould and algae and conferring a lower slip risk than timber equivalents. The inert nature of our outdoor furniture protects it from degradation, making it safe for use in vulnerable ecosystems: indeed, it’s the material of choice for the Environment Agency and a number of conservation and wildlife organisations.
“The British Recycled Plastic Harewood benches not only look attractive, fit well with their surroundings, are maintenance free and are environmentally friendly, fulfilled all of our Parish Council key requirements given our strong focus on community, the environment and on sustainability”.
