Our Envi­ron­men­tal Policy

LEED Infor­ma­tion

Thank you for your inter­est in the envi­ron­men­tally friendly prod­ucts man­u­fac­tured by the Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory!  By the use of recy­cled plas­tic we are sav­ing energy, reduc­ing water and air pol­lu­tion, sav­ing trees, and even cre­at­ing jobs.

As our planet’s pop­u­la­tion con­tin­ues to grow, we must all work together to develop sound strate­gies to insure the health of our resources. By cre­at­ing aware­ness, demand­ing the use of sus­tain­able mate­ri­als, and mak­ing recy­cling an inte­gral part of our lives, we will be able to reduce our envi­ron­men­tal impact and pro­vide a bet­ter tomor­row for future generations.

With this under­stand­ing, the Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory strives to be a stew­ard of the envi­ron­ment offer­ing green prod­ucts designed to min­i­mize our envi­ron­men­tal foot­print.  Through the oper­a­tion of  a safe and respon­si­ble recy­cling facil­ity, in com­bi­na­tion with the use of 100% post-consumer recy­cled mate­ri­als to pro­duce supe­rior, longer-lasting prod­uct designed to out­live tra­di­tional unsus­tain­able mate­ri­als, we hope to deliver on this promise.

We are very proud to share with you the prod­uct line we have devel­oped from 100% post-consumer recy­cled plas­tic.  Waste such as milk jugs, deter­gent bot­tles, plas­tic bags and flower pots are turned into plas­tic lum­ber and used to cre­ate durable and attrac­tive site fur­nish­ings for home and com­mer­cial use.  And because we over­see oper­a­tions begin­ning to end, we can per­son­ally attest to the qual­ity, crafts­man­ship and  envi­ron­men­tal char­ac­ter of every prod­uct we sell.

Owned and oper­ated by Cindy Goo­gins, the Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory is located in Engle­wood, Florida on the Gulf Coast 30 min­utes South of Sara­sota. Cer­ti­fied by the State of Florida, a mem­ber of the Florida Green Build­ing Coali­tion, and a mem­ber of the U.S. Green Build­ing Coun­cil, we are con­tin­u­ously seek­ing ways to min­i­mize our envi­ron­men­tal impact while improv­ing our 100% recy­cled plas­tic products.

    In today’s envi­ron­ment, buy­ing “GREEN” is more impor­tant than ever. The Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory man­u­fac­tures 100% recy­cled plas­tic lum­ber made from post-consumer and post-industrial recy­cled plas­tics, such as milk jugs and laun­dry deter­gent bot­tles, plas­tic bags and flower pots. Our prod­ucts are safe for both chil­dren and adults, as they do not splin­ter, absorb bac­te­ria, or con­tain chem­i­cals that may leach into the skin or soil like pres­sured treated wood.

  • Unmatched Durability
