Thank you for your question about the recycled materials in our urban benches! It's a fantastic topic that speaks directly to our commitment to environmental responsibility.
For our steel benches, we are proud to incorporate a significant amount of recycled content. The steel we use typically contains over 80% recycled material, sourced from post-industrial and post-consumer streams. This process drastically reduces the need for virgin ore mining and saves considerable energy compared to producing entirely new steel.
When it comes to our plastic benches, we take sustainability a step further. They are primarily manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. This means the plastic comes from items like used milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other household containers that have been collected, cleaned, and reprocessed. By giving this plastic a new, long-lasting life as durable bench seating, we help divert waste from landfills and oceans.
Choosing benches with high recycled content is a simple yet powerful way for communities to support a circular economy. It reduces waste, conserves natural resources, and lowers the carbon footprint of public spaces. We believe that durable, functional design can and should go hand-in-hand with ecological stewardship. Our benches are built to last for years with minimal maintenance, making your investment both practical and planet-friendly.
