RECYCLING PLASTIC HELPS TO REDUCE LANDFILL.

• Plastic is largely manufactured from oil; therefore it should be treated as a precious resource and not merely a long term nuisance in our landfill sites. Here at Tamstar our products are manufactured from 100% recycled high density Polyethylene (HDPE).

• Typically used to manufacture everyday products such as water bottles, plastic bags, and bottle lids. When recycled it is an extremely hardwearing, versatile material that makes an excellent replacement to wood for multiple reasons.

• One of the main benefits of using recycled plastic for outdoor furniture is its durability. Plastic is a naturally weather-resistant material that can withstand the elements, such as sun, rain, and snow. It will not rot, warp, or fade, and it is resistant to insects and other pests.

• The non-porous makeup of recycled plastic means water cannot penetrate the material which often is the cause of splitting, warping, twisting and distortion seen in untreated timber and so due to this durable nature it does not require regular maintenance as well as keeping its colour.
