CAN HELP DEMONSTRATE THE BENEFITS
OF A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
As awareness and understanding
of the role of recycling in the
circular economy increases, more
and more organisations in the UK
and across Europe are sourcing
and / or replacing their stocks with
sustainable solutions and products
where practical.
The demand for sustainable street
furniture made from recycled
materials or material that can be
recycled at the end of its service life,
continues to increase.
It is the responsibility of
manufacturers to ensure that
the recycled material and
design of the product strives to
outperform traditional solutions on
functionality, maintenance costs
and value for money, while helping
community leaders demonstrate
some of the real tangible benefits of
a circular economy.
Sustainability that Outperforms
on Design, Operational Costs
and Value for Money
Exploring Enviropol ® - a
recycled material used in the
manufacture of street furniture
Glasdon first introduced Enviropol
into its range in 1993. This recycled
material is predominantly
produced from post consumer and
industrial polythene, including
used supermarket carrier bags,
and it is the result of the increased
availability of ‘quality’ segregated and
uncontaminated waste for recycling.
The advances in the control and
separation of recyclable waste
means that we can maintain strict
controls over the recycled materials
used to formulate Enviropol.
Today Glasdon design and
manufacture a range of seats,
benches and picnic tables using
Enviropol.

Enviropol is dense, strong and
weather-resistant, ensuring Glasdon
seats, benches and picnic tables
have a long, virtually maintenance-
free service life. Available in black
and brown, it is self-coloured and
therefore does not require painting
or any additional surface treatment
at any time. Enviropol is also 100%
recyclable when it reaches the end
of its service life.
Quality by Design
All Glasdon Enviropol material seats
are rigorously tested by our in-house
Quality Assurance Department for
strength and durability, ensuring
maximum resistance against the
numerous challenges faced in
external environments.
