Why Choose Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture For Green Spaces

  • Designed for hard-working urban environments — our recycled plastic seating, planters, bollards and parklets are built for plazas, town centres, transport hubs and other public spaces.
  • Reduces maintenance in high-traffic areas — no painting, staining or treatments are required, helping local authority managers cut maintenance costs and minimise disruption in active urban locations.
  • 25-year guarantee, long-term public realm value — made with a highly durable recycled plastic, our furniture offers whole-life cost planning and reduces the need for frequent replacements (like timber alternatives).
  • Weatherproof and pollution-resistant — products withstand rain, frost, UV exposure and everyday urban grime without rotting, rusting or splintering, helping spaces stay attractive throughout the year.
  • Vandal-resistant for city-centre use — tough recycled plastic stands up to high footfall, heavy impact and anti-social behaviour while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
  • Supports sustainable regeneration goals — manufactured from recycled plastic and recyclable at end of life, we’re proud to help councils, developers and community organisations reach Net Zero, ESG and circular economy objectives.

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!

Sustainability

Urban development is changing and sustainability is fast becoming a core concern for planners and architects. It’s important that there are green spaces in urban areas and recycled plastic furniture is a way to achieve this objective. A number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals apply to urban development and settlement planning, inviting more integrated and imaginative visions for our shared future.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities Objectives:

By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanisation and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries.

By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.

By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities.

By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
