Govaplast® is known as the premier brand of recycled plastic and has an Environmental Product Declaration.
The development of Govaplast® began in 1995 with a broad and sustainable vision for the future of street furniture with a cradle to cradle philosophy.
100% recycled raw material is used, ‘green’ power is employed in the manufacturing process, and cooling water is recycled. At the products end of life, it is again completely recyclable.
A sophisticated production process and the use of high-grade raw materials enables the supply of high-quality products while reducing our ecological footprint.
Historically, recycled plastic has been seen at best as ‘functional’, fantastic in parks where the rot free, splinter free characteristics of the material means no maintenance and a 40 year life span (WRAP, 2006).
At worst it was seen to warp unless supported very closely with heavy duty profiles, rendering design basic.
Today, with designers on board and advances in technology, recycled plastic street furniture can perform aesthetically as well as any other material, with the added benefit of an improved 'Environmental Product Declaration' rating compared to most other street furniture materials.
Our range includes street furniture; benches and seating, many designs of picnic tables, planters, litter bins, decking, fencing, bin bays, bollards, and a range of products for the equestrian industry such as tongue and groove boards for stable construction, sleepers for polo field edging, rubber tiles and matting and sheets.
Specifying recycled plastic products has huge benefits, not only in the reduction of plastic waste to landfill, but in whole life costs.
