Hey there! We get this question a lot, and honestly, we love answering it. So, are our urban benches made from recycled materials, or is that just for certain models? The short answer is: it’s absolutely both. We’ve woven sustainability deep into our design ethos, but not every bench gets the exact same treatment—and there’s a really good reason for that. Let’s pull up a seat and chat about what goes into our street furniture.
Yes, we have urban benches that are entirely crafted from recycled materials. Our planet-favorite is the EcoPlank series, built from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic—mostly salvaged from things like milk jugs and detergent bottles. These benches are champions of durability; they won’t rot, splinter, or need a fresh coat of paint ever. You’ll find them thriving in coastal parks, playgrounds, and anywhere a zero-maintenance, fully recycled bench makes sense.
Then you have models where recycled content is more of a superpower blended into a classic look. Take our Heritage Steel collection. These urban benches feature sleek metal frames made of up to 85% recycled steel, paired with sustainably sourced hardwood. The recycled steel gives you that unmistakable industrial solidity while dramatically cutting down on raw material extraction. It’s the perfect meeting point between tough, timeless aesthetics and modern circular design.
Even our concrete and composite designs get in on the act. The Metro Concrete bench, for example, incorporates recycled aggregates and reclaimed fly ash, which reduces cement demand and results in a uniquely textured, ultra-durable seat that wears its eco-credentials subtly. And we’re always tinkering—experimenting with reclaimed aluminum alloys for our modular urban benches in high-traffic transit zones.
So why isn’t every single bench 100% recycled? Honestly, material performance matters. Some projects demand extreme structural behavior or specific aesthetic zoning requirements that are currently best served by a careful mix of recycled and virgin materials. But here’s our promise: wherever a bench can be made more sustainable without compromising safety or longevity, we do it. And we’re dead transparent about the recycled content percentage right on the product spec sheet and the badge on the bench.
If you’re looking for a fully recycled urban bench for an eco-focused development, we’ve got plenty. If you need a blend that sings with architectural harmony but still carries impressive recycled credentials, those models are ready too. We’d be happy to walk you through the exact material story of any bench you’re eyeing. Just give us a shout—sustainability shouldn’t be a guessing game.
