Boardwalk made from Centriforce's Recycled Plastic Planks - a BBC News Feature
FencingRecycled Plastic Walkways
Centriforce Products is the market leader in recycled plastic walkways and boardwalks. Working with leading organisations in the land management sector, such as The National Trust, The Wildlife Trust, Natural England and the Environment Agency, Centriforce's recycled plastic profiles have been installed as plastic walkways and boardwalks throughout the UK for the past 20 years.
In town and country, we are seeing more and more recycled plastic walkways or boardwalks. They are manufactured from post consumer recycled HDPE in the form of plastic planks, and are chosen because they have a significantly lower whole-life cost than the conventional timber alternative.
Benefits of Recycled Plastic Walkways
Recycled plastic wood is the ideal construction material for outdoor applications and offers the following benefits over traditional timber products:
• Extremely durable, with a lifespan at least four times that of timber
• Rot and algae proof, requiring little or no maintenance
• Unique slip resistant finish, ensuring good grip in all weather conditions
• Recycled plastic walkways are completely inert and will not leach chemicals into water or soil
• Visually in keeping with the timber alternative and the surrounding environment
• The materials will not rot, which is particularly important for the posts and bearers that are frequently water logged or flooded
• Greater resilience to vandalism
• Plastic planks are easy to install, and can be drilled and sawn in a similar manner to timber materials
• Fully meets the requirements of BS 6399-1 – 1996 covering use as 'Heavy duty walkways for high density pedestrian traffic including escape routes'
