British Recycled Plastic

What British Recycled Plastic does

British Recycled Plastic (legal entity: Low Carbon Products Ltd) is a private UK manufacturer that converts 100% UK-sourced plastic waste — primarily mixed polyolefins (HDPE, LDPE, polypropylene, polythene) — into structural lumber, outdoor furniture, and landscaping products at a single West Yorkshire facility. The technical process shreds, melts, and blends the waste streams with a 1% recycled masterbatch for colour, producing maintenance-free, rot-resistant lumber that can be cut and drilled like hardwood and is backed by a 25-year guarantee on most products. The catalogue spans picnic tables (including wheelchair-accessible models), benches, garden furniture, raised beds, compost bins, modular planters and parklets, decking, fencing, bollards, litter bins, ground-reinforcement grids, and cut-to-size lumber, with a 2026 extension into stainless-steel benches for high-traffic commercial sites.

The company runs a sales-led, B2B-leaning go-to-market that combines direct e-commerce, telephone-based account management, a credit-account system for repeat business customers, and a registered UK installer network. Pricing is quote-based with bulk discounts and free mainland-UK shipping on standard items. End-of-life products are recovered through a Take Back Scheme that keeps material in the circular economy, and customers receive a "milk container count" CO2-savings report to support ESG and social-value procurement reporting. The business serves primarily UK local authorities, housing associations, schools, sports clubs, and heritage sites, with named customers including Eilean Donan Castle, the National Trust, NHS, University of Oxford, and Environment Agency.

Governance and ownership remain founder-led: Managing Director Jason Elliott — who also signed the 2024 ISO 9001:2015 Quality Policy and 2025 Social Value Policy — controls operations through the Low Carbon Products Ltd entity. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, Made in Britain, BALI, Living Wage, and Green Web Foundation certifications, has earned a Harrogate Flower Show Gold award for its "Common Ground" show garden, and has been profiled by BBC News. It does not accept external equity funding and ships only to UK mainland (excluding the Scottish Highlands, islands, and Northern Ireland).
