Great question! If I had to pick just one, I’d say the EcoSlat Recycled Plastic Bench is easily the most eco-friendly street bench in our range.
It’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled HDPE—think old milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other plastic waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. Unlike timber or mixed-material benches, the EcoSlat doesn’t need painting, sealing, or chemical treatments, and it won’t rot, splinter, or attract pests. It also lasts for decades outdoors, which means fewer replacements and less waste over time. At the end of its life, the material can be recycled again, making it a much more circular option.
If you love the look of natural wood, our FSC-certified Iroko Timber Bench is a solid runner-up, but for the lowest overall environmental footprint, I’d recommend the EcoSlat. Happy to help if you want to compare sizes, colours, or mounting options!
