What Epic Plastics does

Epic Plastics, founded in 1997 and headquartered at 104 East Turner Road in Lodi, California, manufactures landscape edging and site solutions made primarily from post-consumer recycled plastics. The company operates as a division of Basalite Concrete Products, itself a subsidiary of the Pacific Coast Building Products conglomerate. Its product portfolio consists of five core edging lines — Epic Edge (HDPE/wood-flour composite), Benda Board (100% recycled HDPE), Benda Board FLEX, Turf Edge (synthetic grass anchoring), and Edge Ex (LDPE for tight curves) — supported by a complementary accessory range (steel stakes, hairpins, pre-drilled stakes, galvanized screws, install kits).

The underlying technology is recycled-plastics extrusion: the company converts approximately 150 million HDPE #2 bottles annually (milk, shampoo, laundry detergent) and diverts roughly 15 million pounds of post-consumer plastic from international landfills each year, using electricity-powered equipment that produces zero carbon emissions during manufacturing. All products are LEED-approved, and the company maintains 2D CAD details and 3D BIM files for landscape architects operating in AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp. Cumulative impact since founding is 300 million pounds of post-consumer plastic kept out of landfills.

Epic Plastics runs a B2B/B2C hybrid revenue model built on one-time unit sales of edging products through three distribution tiers: (i) professional landscape and irrigation supply houses (750+ across the US and Canada, the primary channel for professional landscapers and contractors); (ii) home improvement retailers, including Lowe's and 84 Lumber, totaling 1,128 storefronts nationwide; and (iii) independent nursery and garden centers serving the DIY consumer. Go-to-market is sales-led via a regional sales force (Eastern US, Central US, California specifier) layered on top of distributor and retail partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is structured as transaction-based wholesale and unit retail pricing. Customer segments are dominated by professional landscape contractors and supplemented by DIY homeowners and synthetic turf installers.
