At Plaswood, we believe recycled plastic should be a valuable resource - not waste. Using specialist recycling technologies, we transform previously used plastic into durable new materials for outdoor construction, landscaping, and public spaces.

With extensive in-house recycling and manufacturing capabilities, we maintain a consistent, high-quality supply of recycled plastic feedstock. This enables us to produce a wide range of recycled plastic lumber profiles right here in the UK - offering a practical alternative to traditional timber in applications where durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance are key.

Each year, we manufacture large volumes of recycled plastic profiles and fabricated products - including benches, picnic tables, planters, and litter bins - supplied into sectors such as local government, the NHS, hospitality, landscaping, and public parks.
