British Recycled Plastic for Seaside Towns and Coastal Areas: Sustainable, Durable Solutions for Coastal Living

Seaside towns and coastal areas face some of the most challenging environmental conditions, including salt-laden air, frequent storms, and persistent dampness.

Infrastructure, furniture, and amenities in these areas need to withstand these harsh conditions while maintaining functionality and aesthetic appeal. British Recycled Plastic provides a range of rot-proof, splinter-free, and low-maintenance products specifically designed for coastal environments, making them ideal for public spaces, private gardens, and rental properties.

Why Recycled Plastic is the Perfect Choice for Coastal Areas

Recycled plastic offers unique benefits that make it the ideal material for coastal environments:

  • Resistant to rot and corrosion: Unlike timber and metal, recycled plastic is impervious to salt, water, and dampness.
  • Splinter-free and safe: Provides smooth, durable surfaces that are ideal for public use.
  • Low-maintenance: Requires no painting, staining, or frequent repairs, saving time and money.

Environmentally responsible: Made from 100% recycled UK plastic, supporting sustainability and reducing landfill waste.

Durable Seating: Harewood and Ilkley Benches

Providing comfortable seating for spectators is essential at any cricket ground. British Recycled Plastic’s Harewood and Ilkley benches are excellent options for outdoor seating. Made from 100% recycled plastic, they’re ideal for cricket clubs because they require minimal maintenance, are resistant to the elements, and won’t suffer from rot or splintering like traditional wooden benches. 

These benches come with a 25-year guarantee, making them a long-term investment that saves your club time and money on replacements or repairs. With no need for regular painting or treatments, they allow volunteers to focus on more pressing tasks around the ground.

Picnic Tables for Social Events

Community sports clubs often rely on hosting events like weddings, birthday parties, or post-match gatherings to raise funds and build a social atmosphere. British Recycled Plastic’s picnic tables are perfect for these events, providing sturdy and attractive seating that’s easy to clean and maintain.

These tables are weather-resistant, meaning they can be left outside year-round without damage, and they help create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests. The added benefit of using recycled plastic products is the environmental impact, as each table helps reduce plastic waste and supports sustainability—something increasingly valued by members and event attendees alike.

Changing Room Solutions: Skipton Benches

Hygiene and durability are paramount when it comes to changing room furniture, and the Skipton benches offer a practical solution. These benches are easy to wipe clean and disinfect, ensuring a hygienic environment for players. They’re also resistant to moisture, a common issue in changing rooms, meaning they’ll last longer than wooden alternatives.

With low-maintenance requirements, these benches help cricket clubs cut down on cleaning time while ensuring players have a comfortable and reliable place to sit and prepare for matches. Plus, their durability means they’re perfect for clubs looking to minimise long-term costs.
