When it is about natural resources conservation, recyclables like plastic is in increasing use. Do you know that a growing number of outdoor furniture manufacturers are now using recycled plastic for making park benches, picnic benches and garden benches?

Nature has gifted a number of raw materials like iron, wood, cotton etc. to manufacture our products. In view of nature’s love and increasing environmental concerns, manufacturers have turned into using recycled plastic for park benches.

One of the key challenges in using recycled plastic for park benches is that not every kind of plastic can be utilized for making the same products. There are plastic products like milk jugs, for instance, that are sturdier plastic byproduct as compared to items like flexible egg cartons or container lids. When making park benches as well as water pipe lines, high-density polyethylene plastic termed as 02 HDPE is used.

To collect that reusable waste, there is a multifaceted sorting process that is carried out at recycling plants and finalized at manufacturing facilities. Not just does the plastic must be stored, but when it is ragged and melted, all impurities like paper labels must also be removed.

One of the key benefits of recycled plastic is that this material is very resilient and thus park benches made from this material last for a number of years. The planks on the plastic park benches won’t splinter or crack like wood. Also, since this material is dense, mold is unable to find a way in. Another benefit is that recycled plastic is also resistant to harmful UV rays, unlike wood that can literally be broken down by soaking sun rays in its fibers and starting deterioration. Lastly, the plastic based planks are more flexible and can be bent. While sitting, they provide a little bit more comfort.
