Yes, we do. In fact, street benches made with recycled ocean plastics are one of our most requested products, and they are a practical way to turn plastic waste into durable public furniture.
When we say “recycled ocean plastics,” we’re talking about plastics collected from coastlines, waterways, and ocean-bound sources. These materials are sorted, cleaned, and processed into high-density boards or molded slats that look and feel similar to painted wood or composite lumber. The finished bench frames often use galvanized steel or recycled aluminum, so the entire unit is designed for heavy public use.
The most common question after “do you make them?” is whether they hold up outdoors. They do. Recycled plastic lumber doesn’t absorb water, so it won’t rot, warp, or splinter like wood. It also resists salt air, UV exposure, and graffiti. In our experience, benches made from this material can handle everything from boardwalks and marinas to parks, school campuses, and transit stops.
Another advantage is maintenance. Most recycled ocean plastic benches only need occasional washing with soap and water. There’s no need to paint, seal, or replace slats every few years. That saves municipalities and property managers a lot of time over the life of the bench.
We offer several styles, including backless benches, benches with backs, curved designs, and accessible models with armrests. The recycled plastic comes in standard colors like driftwood gray, ocean blue, black, brown, and green. Many colors are molded through the material, not just painted on, so scratches and scuffs are less noticeable. If you need a custom length or want to match existing site furniture, we can usually accommodate that as well.
For those who want a stronger environmental story, we can provide documentation on the recycled content percentage and, in some cases, the approximate weight of ocean-bound plastic used per bench. That is useful for grant applications, sustainability reports, or public signage. A typical six-foot bench can divert anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds of plastic depending on the design, seat thickness, and frame materials.
Are there trade-offs? Recycled plastic benches can be heavier than wood or aluminum benches. That is usually a benefit because it discourages theft and helps them stay put in high winds, but it does mean you may need two people for installation. They can also expand and contract slightly with temperature changes, so we use stainless steel fasteners and pre-drilled slots to prevent cracking.
If you are comparing recycled ocean plastic to standard recycled plastic, the performance is very similar. The difference is mostly in sourcing and story. Ocean-bound material helps remove plastic before it breaks down into microplastics, and it creates demand for coastal collection programs. That is a strong message for public spaces that want to show real environmental action rather than just saying “green.”
We can ship fully assembled benches or partially assembled units depending on your site access. Lead times vary by quantity and color, but most standard models are ready within a few weeks. We also offer mounting options for concrete pads, paved surfaces, and even suspended or wall-mounted styles.
If you tell us your location, expected foot traffic, and whether you need a backrest or armrests, we can recommend the right model. Yes, we make street benches with recycled ocean plastics—and we’re happy to help you choose one that fits your project, budget, and site conditions.
