Kedel manufactures and sells 100% recycled plastic lumber and timber-alternative products in the UK. Its core materials are Plastic Lumber (structural, made from mixed waste plastics for posts, bearers, and sub-structures) and Plastic Wood (aesthetic wood-grain extruded plastic for cladding, furniture, and visible joinery). These feed into a full product catalogue covering decking, cladding, paving, fencing, gates, outdoor furniture (benches, picnic tables, planters), agricultural, hard landscaping, parks and street furniture, industrial, marina, and school playground products, plus bespoke CNC cutting services.

Product overview

The company offers two core materials: Plastic Lumber (structural, made from mixed waste plastics for fencing posts, bearers, and sub-structures) and Plastic Wood (aesthetic, wood-grain extruded plastic for cladding, furniture, and visible joinery). These materials feed into a comprehensive portfolio organized into product categories including Building & Construction (Decking, Cladding, Paving, Sheets), Fencing & Gates, Seating (Benches, Picnic Tables), Outdoor Furniture (Planters, Raised Beds, Compost Bins), Agricultural Products, Hard Landscaping (Boardwalks, Sleepers), Parks & Street Furniture (Bollards, Grit Bins), Industrial Products, Marinas & Waterways, Schools & Colleges, and Bespoke CNC Services. Key product lines include the Colne Bench range (3 and 4-seater), Ribble Picnic Tables, Round and Hexagonal Picnic Tables, various HDPE and Stokbord plastic sheets, and a full range of fencing posts and pales. All products carry a 25-year guarantee and are designed to replace wood, steel, and concrete in construction applications while being maintenance-free and environmentally sustainable.

Broad incumbents

• Fiberon: Major composite and PVC decking manufacturer competing in the wood-alternative outdoor building products space. Comparable on end-use (decking, cladding) and sustainability angle, but operates at significantly greater scale and wider product portfolio.
• Trex Company: Largest US-listed manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, made largely from recycled materials. Competes with Kedel in the recycled/wood-alternative decking category but at much greater scale and broader product breadth across North America.

Emerging players

• ReForma Plastic Recycling: Recycled plastic lumber and outdoor furniture manufacturer serving European markets. Comparable product mix (lumber, profiles, street furniture) but smaller scale and earlier-stage market presence than Kedel.

Direct peers

• Centriforce: UK manufacturer of recycled plastic products including boards, profiles, and ground-protection sheets, overlapping with Kedel's structural lumber and Stokbord-style sheet offerings. Targets construction, utilities, and events with similar D2C and trade channels.
• Filcris: UK-based recycled plastic lumber and wood-substitute manufacturer serving fencing, decking, and outdoor furniture markets. Directly comparable as a small specialist competing for the same recycled-plastic-lumber niche in the UK.
• Plaswood: UK-based manufacturer of recycled plastic lumber and profiles from mixed waste plastics, directly competing with Kedel in fencing, decking, and outdoor furniture applications. Plaswood is the closest like-for-like recycled plastic lumber specialist serving the same UK construction and public-sector market.

Regional players

• Hahn Plastics: Germany-based manufacturer of recycled plastic products including profiles, boards, and outdoor applications. Comparable on technology and materials, but operates primarily in Continental Europe rather than the UK market.
