Thanks for asking—it's a great question for anyone focused on sustainability. Yes, our street benches are made with recycled plastics, and I'm happy to share the details.
For our standard line of street benches, we use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) recycled plastic lumber. The recycled content in these benches typically ranges from 90% to 100% post-consumer or post-industrial recycled plastics (such as milk jugs and detergent bottles). Specifically, our most popular model contains 95% recycled material—the remaining 5% is a color additive and UV stabilizer to ensure durability and color retention in outdoor conditions.
We source these materials from certified recycling facilities, so you can trust that every bench helps divert plastic waste from landfills and oceans. Plus, recycled plastic benches outperform traditional wood or metal alternatives: they're resistant to rot, insects, and weather, require zero painting or staining, and have a lifespan of 50+ years.
If you're looking for an even higher recycled content, we can customize some models to reach 100% recycled plastic upon request. Do you have a specific project in mind? I'm happy to walk you through the options.
