Recycled plastic can be formed into planks, poles, sheets, sections that have a wood-like appearance, but with the added advantages of being durable, weatherproof, tough and maintenance free. Particularly suitable for structures and products that are exposed to wet or harsh (you had exposed twice) conditions, it is ideal for walkways, fencing, outdoor seating, jetties, signage, decking and other landscaping products.
Recycled plastic does not require any treatment, preservatives or painting. It does not leach any chemicals into the soil or water.
As well as profiles, recycled plastic is also moulded for more specialised products e.g. paving grids and drainage products.
Recycled plastic products are generally expected to have a lifespan of at least 40 years with minimal maintenance or loss of appearance over its lifetime. It offers considerable performance and financial benefits and, when properly specified and installed, has few if any drawbacks.
As well as offering financial benefits, using recycled products can provide significant environmental benefits, therefore ensuring a high level of environmental credibility for your project

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%. From an economic standpoint, both recyclable materials and organic waste hold tremendous value - stated Adalberto Maluf, National Secretary for Environment and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), during the Methane Forum: Climate Emergency Brake, at the Rio Nature and Climate Week. Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
