Building & construction
The UK construction industry uses more than 400 million tonnes of material every year, making it the largest consumer of natural resources in the country.
We’ve developed a special range of Zyplex products to meet the needs of the building and construction industry – all made from 100% British recycled plastic - which significantly reduce the impact on the environment and have other technical advantages as well. These products include: plastic lumber, fencing materials, roofing battens and nailers, tongue & groove, bollards and decking.
Our Zyplex products are environmentally friendly, cost effective and long lasting. They generally outperform traditional building materials such as wood, especially where strength and stability are concerned. The two blends which have been created especially for the construction industry are Zyplex 55 and Zyplex 23.
Made from 100% UK recycled plastic | Environmentally responsible | 100% recyclable
