Material Spotlight: Recycled Plastic
Under the material spotlight this week is recycled plastic. Recycled plastic products are a great choice for landscapes and schemes. Formed from high quality selected recovered plastics, they are an environmentally friendly alternative to timber, and offer excellent weather resistance.
Furnitubes recycled plastic products are made from high-quality upgraded polyolefin mixes of polyethylenes and polypropylenes (LDPE/HDPE/PP). Plastic products such as used bottles, used carrier bags, plastic packaging and other plastic waste are processed to form pellets. These pellets are then used to manufacture a range of products by means of extrusion, intrusion and injection moulding.
