We supply recycled plastic too!

Did you know that only 8% of UK consumers do not consider sustainability when making purchases? That leaves a whopping majority who are eco-conscious, trying to do what they can for the future of our planet. If you are one of those 92% who want to make decisions for the good of our world, our team at EcoChoice can help.

Whether you are in the construction industry or you dabble in DIY, we supply a wide range of sustainable timber for green construction. But – big news – we also supply recycled plastic! As it is one of our lesser-known products, we thought we would shine a light on our recycled plastic construction material, making building eco-consciously a breeze.

Benefits of Recycled Plastic Products

Why bother with recycled plastic for your construction project? Well, let’s take a look…

Sustainability

It goes without saying that recycled plastic is more environmentally friendly than new plastic. Reducing the demand for raw materials, keeping waste out of landfills and lowering the environmental footprint of plastic production, it is a smart choice for when renewable timber is not the best option.

Durability

Recycled plastic boasts impressive durability and resistance to the elements. It does not rot, warp or succumb to insect damage, making it a long-lasting and low-maintenance material for exterior applications. This longevity not only saves resources but also minimises the need for replacements.

Design Versatility

Recycled plastic comes in various forms, from boards and piles to structural components. Its versatility makes it a wonderful building material for creatives, letting you design without restrictions using a building material which works with you rather than against you. In terms of exterior construction, it can make for some pretty bold builds!

Applications of Recycled Plastic 

We looked at the uses of recycled plastic in a brief overview of our products. But to gain a better understanding of how you can use it in your construction work, let’s take a closer look at why it is such a great material for those different projects.

Decking and Cladding

Recycled plastic decking makes for a durable and weather-resistant alternative to traditional timber. It is an ideal choice for creating outdoor spaces which withstand the elements while also contributing to sustainable construction practices. Win-win!

Fencing

Recycled plastic fencing offers the aesthetic appeal of traditional materials with the added benefit of being resistant to weathering, termites and rot. Especially when in direct contact with the ground, our recycled plastic shines as it just will not succumb to the pressures of these harsh conditions. For fencing which stands the test of time, recycled plastic is a smart choice. 

Structural Components

Recycled plastic can be used in the construction of various structural components, such as support beams and posts. Its strength, coupled with its resistance to environmental factors, makes it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects.

Marine Constructions

Marine projects are notoriously tricky when it comes to sourcing materials. Saltwater is not kind to a lot of natural resources, will easily rust steel and can cause some timbers to rot over time. Plastic, though, can handle it with ease, making it a great choice for fenders and marine piling.
