Recycled Plastic Outdoor Products

Why Plastic is a Great Option for Outdoor Products

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.

Quantify It

Quantifying Our Impact

If most manufacturing processes used waste materials as a feedstock, the world would look very different.
