“Sustainabily is a byword. Both stockists and end-
users have the satisfaction of knowing that they
are selling and buying a product that’s great for the
environment.
“We have the figures to prove it. We recycle the
equivalent of 280 plastic milk bottles, or 3,000
plastic bottle caps per square metre of decking.
Over the past six months alone, we have recycled
the equivalent of 121,500,000 plastic bottles tops
and saved an estimated 9,520,000 milk bottles from
going to landfill or into the oceans.
“Consumers are increasingly switching to
composite materials instead of plastic and as
global challenges around plastic waste and the
ability to plant forests to meet future timber
demands increase, composite provides a
sustainable and genuine alternative to timber.
“There has been extraordinary growth and very
positive feedback in the last twelve months alone,
which suggests there is enormous potential for
expansion into other sectors.”
Managing director Mr Harrison explained: “Our
heritage, experience and knowledge in the timber
and plastic trades recognise the current challenges
and limitations in these markets and across similar
composite products.
“What we are offering is a durable and authentic
alternative to timber. The timber itself is also end of
line wood waste from the hardwood floor industry,
so it ticks all the right boxes for sustainability on
the timber side, FSC and reused end of line waste.
“Education is the key to success. Building
relationships with our target audience and
communicating the advantages and benefits of
composite can only reinforce the integrity and
popularity of the product.”
End-users include builders, developers and
contractors, along with the garden, landscape and
architectural sectors.The DIY market has grown
quickly, with increasing interest coming from
environmental bodies.
