We are well known at EcoChoice for our sustainably sourced timber. From Oak to Ekki, we supply FSC-certified wood to our UK clients looking for a renewable building material to complete their projects. But timber is not the only product your construction might need. That is where our non-renewables come in, including recycled plastic.
Sourcing Recycled Plastic
We supply a wide range of recycled plastic solutions designed for exterior construction projects. Our team can source and deliver plastic for:
- Decking
- Bearers (incl. steel reinforced)
- Piles
- Fenders (incl GRP reinforced)
- Sheet piling
- Cladding
- Furniture components
All of these products will be manufactured from 100% recycled plastic sourced as sustainably as possible.
Why Choose Recycled Plastic?
Plastic is one of the greatest inventions of all time. You can find it everywhere, from plastic bottles and cheap pens to car bumpers, kitchens and space stations. But it is not the most eco-friendly building material out there.
Raw plastic has created a problem for our planet, filling oceans and landfills with non-biodegradable junk. Fortunately, though, our recycled plastic can alleviate the problem.
By taking waste plastic and transforming it into new, clean materials, we give old products a new lease of life and reduce strain on landfill sites. Recycled plastic also cuts down on the need for new virgin plastic, which uses valuable crude oil and has a much larger negative impact on the planet.
If you are building with plastic, play your part and opt for recycled. It is the EcoChoice.
Benefits of Using Plastic
We will always be timber advocates, but we know there is a place in the construction industry for other materials, such as plastic. With recycled plastics, these projects can maintain the high standards and durability which you are used to seeing from our timber.
Plastic is a strong, hard-wearing material which is incredibly versatile. It can be made in any colour, a wide variety of textures and your required thickness. In terms of properties, it can be almost completely up to you.
It is also extremely resistant to wear from harsh weather. Plastic does not rot and is not susceptible to infestations, making it a fantastic material for outdoor use. The only thing to note is that it may sag over long lengths and some colours of plastic can fade in the sun.

Recycled plastic related insights
Timber may be the only renewable building material, but with plastic one of the biggest environmental threats of the modern world, there’s another marvellous variation of plastic that’s helping to change the fate of our planet.
We explore some of the key options that are available when it comes to decking in this article, including softwood and hardwood timber decking, modified timber decking, plastic decking and composite WPC decking.
Although timber is a popular meterial in the UK for making canal fenders, lock gates and sea defences, we believe there is still plenty more room for timber to be used on waterways, helping to protect banks and the surrounding land from flooding in an environmentally friendly way. We outline how in this article.
