Great question—this is probably the most common question we get before someone buys an outdoor bench. The short answer: our standard outdoor benches are already made from recycled materials, so no special order is required if sustainability is what you’re after.
Our recycled plastic lumber benches use post-consumer HDPE, like milk jugs and detergent bottles, as the default material. That gives you the look of painted wood without the rot, splinters, or repainting. It’s why these eco-friendly outdoor benches work so well in gardens, patios, and walkways.
A special order only comes into play if you want a custom size, a non-standard color, an engraved plaque, or a commercial-grade frame. Even then, the bench is still manufactured from recycled materials—it just may take a little longer because it’s built to your spec.
So if you want sustainable outdoor benches without the wait, shop our standard recycled outdoor benches. If you need something more tailored, custom outdoor benches are available through a simple special-order process. Either way, you get a bench made from recycled materials.
