One Man’s Waste Can be Another Man’s Treasure
Did You Know
Every 20 benches we manufacture saves landfills from approximately 1 ton of plastic
- We use plastic in our products that other recyclers cannot process
- The material used in our recycled plastic furniture resists bacterial growth
- The furniture will not absorb liquid and can be high-pressure washed or steam cleaned
- There are no splinters in the material to damage in transit and cause injuries to handlers
- Our recycled plastic furniture demonstrates our care for the environment by saving trees and saving landfills from plastic
- The recycled material we use is non bio-degradable industrial waste which would have ended up in a landfill so our products are environmentally, much more sound.
- There are no colourants or tints added which weakens the material and will eventually fade and flake.
