Environmental Policy

The Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory is con­tin­u­ously seek­ing ways to min­i­mize our envi­ron­men­tal impact while improv­ing our 100% recy­cled plas­tic products.

Listed below are prac­tices we cur­rently have in place:

  • Raw mate­ri­als used to make our 100% recy­cled plas­tic prod­ucts are post-consumer and post-industrial recy­cled plas­tic waste col­lected in the State of Florida, which diverts waste from our landfills.
  • Our non-toxic prod­ucts con­tain no BPAs or PVCs, which can be harm­ful to the environment.
  • No green­house gases are pro­duced in our man­u­fac­tur­ing process.
  • Our prod­ucts are low main­te­nance, min­i­miz­ing the use of water and chem­i­cals needed to clean them.
  • No wood fillers are used in our prod­ucts, thereby not con­tribut­ing to deforestation.
  • Most fin­ished prod­ucts are shipped pal­letized, vir­tu­ally elim­i­nat­ing the need for cor­ru­gated card­board in our packaging.
  • Raw mate­ri­als are stored in con­tain­ers recy­cled and reused from other industries.
  • All of our mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als are printed on recy­cled paper and we encour­age cus­tomer and ven­dor com­mu­ni­ca­tion via email to min­i­mized paper usage.
  • By man­u­fac­tur­ing 100% recy­cled plas­tic lum­ber and prod­ucts we encour­age recycling.
  • Raw mate­r­ial over­runs are re-ground and used in future products.
  • Our prod­ucts are recyclable.
  • Flu­o­res­cent light­ing is used through­out our facil­ity and prop­erly dis­posed when changed.
  • Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory is a mem­ber of the U.S. Green Build­ing Coun­cil and the Florida Green Build­ing Coalition.
  • Sustainable. Durable. Responsible.

    The Recy­cled Plas­tic Fac­tory is a State of Florida Cer­ti­fied WBE busi­ness, an approved State of Florida Con­trac­tor, and a proud mem­ber of the fol­low­ing organizations:

  • US Green Building Council
  • Earth Friendly

    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

    Our prod­ucts are used by parks, schools, and other munic­i­pal­i­ties because they offer sig­nif­i­cant advan­tages over con­ven­tional wood site fur­nish­ings:

    Weather Resis­tant

    Imper­vi­ous to Insects

    Main­te­nance Free

    Graf­fiti Resis­tant

    No Paint, Stain or Sealants Needed

    Heavy Duty
