What Plasloc Ltd does

Plasloc Ltd is a Newton Abbot, Devon-headquartered private limited company (founded 2010) that designs, manufactures, hires, and sells patented modular hoarding and segregation systems built from 100% recycled PVC-U. Its core technology is a tongue-and-groove interlocking plank system that is freestanding, weighted, and structurally certified to BS 6180:2011, with no requirement for ground penetration.

Optional extras include integrated doors, windows, LED lighting, and printed graphics, allowing per-project customisation.

The business operates primarily on a hire basis with a zero-waste circular model: products are returned at end of life and recycled back into next-generation boards, with recycling income donated to the Just One Ocean charity. Revenue streams include recurring hire revenue, one-time sales, and professional services for printed graphics and advertising. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with project-based quoting via website forms and phone, supported by content marketing, an interactive 360° product inspector, and direct account management.
