When considering outdoor furniture, the benefits of recycled plastic far outweigh the traditional timber alternative.

Taking into account both financial and environmental factors, recycled plastic is noticeably superior to its timber or metal equivalents.

Historically plastic is an extremely useful and versatile material. However it is often stigmatised for its association with everyday litter. In the last 30 years plastic has grown to become an essential part of modern life, we now use approximately 20 times more plastic than we did 50 years ago. Traditional materials are increasingly being replaced with recycled plastic because it does the job better, cheaper, using less energy and water and emits lower levels of CO2 in its production.

Plastic is largely manufactured from oil, therefore it should be treated as a precious resource and not merely a nuisance in our landfill sites.

Unlike many other products, plastics can be recycled several times, for countless applications, so it is important they are not wasted.

Here at NBB Recycled Furniture, we manufacture all of our products from 100% Recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in Poole, Dorset. When recycled, it is an extremely hardwearing, versatile material, making it a perfect choice for all-weather outdoor furniture.
