EcoChoice is the approved EU agent for Bedford Tech – a leader in recycled HDPE plastic for marine works. Manufacturing fenders using 100% post-consumer plastics, they build an eco-friendly solution for your construction project which is built to stand the test of time.
SeaPile and SeaTimber
Made from recycled plastic (mainly from milk bottles), Bedford Tech have created two advanced marine fender products; SeaPile and SeaTimber. SeaPile is a round fender, whilst SeaTimber is either rectangular or square depending on your specifications and requirements.
Both fenders are created using composite plastic which has been designed to withstand large impacts and shocks, absorbing the energy to protect what is beneath them. What’s more, you can add a number of reinforcing fibreglass rebar to increase the stiffness of the fenders, making them more suitable to the type of vessel in your port, harbour or marina.
EcoChoice is proud to provide SeaPile and SeaTimber products, sourcing them directly from Bedford Tech and delivering them to your site for a hassle-free, sustainable project.

The plastic is incredibly easy to work with, allowing for cutting and drilling on-site. As the name suggests, SeaPile and SeaTimber fenders are suitable for marine environments, with resistance to fluctuating temperatures and salt water, never rotting or decaying even with constant exposure.

Bedford Tech prioritises sustainability alongside quality when building their fenders, making them an ideal partner for EcoChoice and our eco-friendly values.

Is Plastic a Suitable Choice For Fenders?
Raw plastic is not advisable for fenders because of its environmental impact, but Bedford Tech’s recycled products offer a durable, sustainable solution. Plastic is incredibly hard-wearing, making it a smart choice for outdoor applications and marine environments. It will last for decades, needs very little maintenance, and can be textured for a premium finish. In terms of fenders, recycled plastic is always a good choice.

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.
