Plastic wood lumber is made from recycled plastics such as low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene, and PVC. The process crunches the waste plastic into usable pieces of plastic which can be turned into something useful and eco-friendly. For example, a bench or litter bin.

These types of plastics are generally sourced from waste packaging including post-consumer and post-production waste such as car bumpers, gas pipes, wheelie bins, disposable nappies, drinking cups, amongst many hundred more.

As with almost every item, each element within these plastics have their own unique qualities. These qualities are identified and used in the production process to ensure that best practice is followed to achieve diversity in our products and provide a bespoke service. In addition, different manufacturing processes are utilised so that the lasting product performs as required using various stock plastic lumber wood profiles, sheets.

Our products are made to replicate traditional timber products such as planks, fences, decking, boardwalks, and gates as well as other methods which can be adapted to suit. This is so that they resemble the finish and desirability of timber products, with have a range of extra added benefits. Not only do we reduce the use of natural resources such as timber and wood, we design good-looking products on the basis that they will last for a lifetime with minimal maintenance required as a result.
