Yes, we absolutely use recycled plastic in our outdoor bench production. In fact, it’s one of the core pillars of our commitment to sustainability. When I hear the question about eco-friendly benches, I often respond with both pride and transparency: our factory sources post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics—such as discarded containers, packaging waste, and ocean-bound plastics—and transforms them into durable, weather-resistant lumber substitutes. This process not only diverts significant waste from landfills and oceans but also reduces the carbon footprint compared to virgin plastic manufacturing.

Our recycled plastic benches are engineered to withstand harsh outdoor environments without rotting, cracking, or requiring frequent maintenance. The material is UV-stabilized, resistant to moisture and insects, and can be colored throughout to retain its appearance for decades. We follow a closed-loop system where any production scraps are re-fed into the recycling process, ensuring zero waste to landfill. Additionally, each bench carries a label detailing its recycled content percentage—typically over 95%—so customers can verify the environmental impact.

We also partner with certified recycling facilities to ensure the raw materials meet strict quality and safety standards. While some factories in our industry might use a thin layer of recycled plastic mixed with virgin materials to cut costs, we prioritize full recycled content and hold certifications like GREENGUARD Gold and SCS Recycled Content. This means the benches you purchase not only support a circular economy but also contribute to healthier public spaces.

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly bench that doesn’t compromise on strength or aesthetics, our recycled plastic lineup is a proven choice. We welcome facility managers, landscape architects, and environmentally conscious buyers to tour our factory—virtually or in person—to see the recycling process in action.
