At Plaswood, we believe plastic waste is valuable resource. That's why we transform previously used plastic into durable new materials for outdoor construction, landscaping, and public spaces.

With extensive recycling expertise and manufacturing capabilities, we maintain a consistent, high-quality supply of recycled plastic feedstock. This enables us to produce a wide range of recycled plastic lumber profiles right here in the UK - offering a practical alternative to traditional timber in applications where durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance are key.

Each year, we manufacture large volumes of recycled plastic profiles and fabricated products - including benches, picnic tables, planters, and litter bins - supplied into sectors such as local government, the NHS, hospitality, landscaping, and public parks.

Sectors

Plaswood products are manufactured in Dumfries, Scotland, using recycled plastic as the main raw material. The process makes use of plastic waste that has reached the end of its life, diverting it from disposal. The resulting plastic lumber profiles can be used as an alternative to a range of materials, including timber, in applications such as fencing, boardwalks, decking, landscaping and outdoor furniture.

Our manufacturing process includes quality‑control testing on every batch of Plaswood lumber to check strength, surface characteristics and environmental performance against relevant industry standards. Plaswood operates certified management systems: ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety).

Plaswood profiles are designed for long service life. They are resistant to rot and do not require painting, staining or preserving, which reduces maintenance needs over time. Their material properties make them suitable for outdoor and wet‑environment applications, including in‑ground installations such as fence posts, boardwalk structures, decking substructures and landscaping projects.

We supply Plaswood products - including both standard lumber profiles and fabricated components - to a wide range of sectors. Our fabrication facility uses CNC technology to support consistent product quality and high‑volume production capabilities.

Our outdoor furniture range includes benches, picnic tables, planters, litter bins and seating designed for commercial and public‑realm environments across the UK.
