Low-Carbon Materials.
From Waste.
For Good.

Our Products

Circular11 transforms waste-bound plastic

into low-carbon fencing, furniture, and landscaping products for the construction and estates sectors. We combine material science and machine learning to expand what it’s possible to recycle, and we’re on a mission to turn the global waste problem into a supply-stream for the materials we need in a net-zero world. Doing that takes three steps

We combine material science and machine learning to expand what it’s possible to recycle, and we’re on a mission to turn the global waste problem into a supply-stream for the materials we need in a net-zero world. Doing that takes three steps

01

Recycle

We collect directly from companies and communities with problem plastics, or work with sorting facilities that have large volumes of plastic that cannot be separated or resold. We quantify how much plastic would have gone to incineration or landfill (our ‘additionality’).

02

Reprocess

We shred this material down and create a chemical and mechanical profile of this waste. This is fed into our machine learning algorithms, which work out how to enhance the performance of these waste streams to the requirements of each product, after which the material goes through in-house strength testing to guarantee product quality.

03

Remanufacture

Finally, we use a process called extrusion to create plastic lumber, which we then make into finished products. We use our own digital operating system to track what plastic streams end up in each individual product, along with the carbon used and diverted in its production.

Benefits

Tree

Net Zero

Our supply chain directly diverts carbon emissions from plastic incineration, a process more carbon-intensive than coal-production, meaning that more carbon is prevented than is used in production.

Circle

Circular

We recycle all of our own products and those of our competitors, and will work with you to collect it at end of life, ensuring that plastic stays in the economy and benefits people & planet for centuries.

Abacus

Traceable

All impact is quantified and accredited so that it integrates with carbon reduction targets and ISO 14001. Alongside EPDs, we can issue product-specific reports that evidence product impact.

“We cannot praise the team enough for their hard-work and dedication to create benches that not only fulfil their sustainability promise, but are also beautiful. They went above and beyond to meet tight deadlines and find effective solutions at every step of the journey. The benches will now be positioned at rugby stadiums across the UK.”

"Circular11 worked with us to meet the brief brilliantly, happy to incorporate our ideas and offer practical suggestions. The cost was much cheaper than similar bespoke items in hardwood or steel and will almost certainly last longer. After nearly a year, they look as good as the day they were delivered and feel like they will last forever. It is very satisfying and important to us that they are made predominantly from recycled materials which would otherwise have gone to landfill."
Nigel, Customer

The two founders of this company, Connor and Ben, started Circular11 because of their time working on a waste management project in Nepal, where they could see the impact of waste burning on the families they lived with.

Our goal is to bring our technology back to communities without waste management, like those we lived with in Nepal. To do this, we’re rethinking plastic on a global scale.

The 11th Sustainable Development Goal states that everyone deserves waste management, and every community on the planet should be able to build with net-zero-carbon materials.

We’re called Circular11 because we believe that the circular economy can use one problem to solve the other.

1

Plastic waste is the one material that almost every settlement in the world has in abundance. Our technology unlocks its potential as an sustainable, affordable, and locally-sourced material.

2060

By 2060, there is expected to be one billion tonnes of annual expected plastic waste. What if this could supply the materials for the net-zero world we need?

Recycled Plastic Outdoor Products

Why Plastic is a Great Option for Outdoor Products

September 6, 2024

Plastic is often spoken about negatively for its environmental impact, particularly its contribution to pollution, however, when used responsibly and in specific applications, plastic can offer incredible benefits, especially when used in recycled plastic outdoor furniture or in sustainable building materials. We take a look at how plastic can be used positively in outdoor products, focusing on its durability, low maintenance, and long-lasting nature. As all Circular11 products are made from recycled plastic products, we’ll focus specifically on recycled plastic.

Quantifying Our Impact

June 14, 2024

If most manufacturing processes used waste materials as a feedstock, the world would look very different. For starters, we’d have to stop talking about waste, because there wouldn’t be any – only feedstocks. The extraction of virgin resources would plummet; resources already in circulation would be more valuable, and treated as such.
But it’s easy for companies to exaggerate the good that they’re doing – especially when no-one agrees on what it really means to divert waste, and how to calculate the impact of it.
That’s why we’re committed to being transparent about what we do now, what we’re aiming for, and how we think about and measure our impact. There are three types of environmental impacts that we want to make: recycling rates, waste diversion, and carbon savings.
