Don’t miss a trick this Recycle Week

Another groundbreaking recycled plastic innovation, Social Plastic® has enormous social benefits, helping to tackle plastic pollution and lift people out of poverty at the same time. LifestyleGarden® proudly partnered with Plastic Bank to produce furniture made from Social Plastic, a recycled material made from plastic waste that has been collected from the world’s waterways. The extra layer to this is that the initiative ultimately gives plastic waste a value, with the locals who collect discarded plastic able to exchange it at Plastic Bank recycling centres for premiums to cover family essentials, such as groceries, health insurance, school tuition, health insurance, cooking fuel and more. Another bonus is that this incredible material – like DuraOcean® – feeds into a circular economy and can be recycled again at the end of its life. Find Social Plastic in an array of colours in our stunning Nassau collection.

You wouldn’t think twice about recycling an aluminium can or tin but did you ever stop think about recycling aluminium furniture? The robust, rust-free aluminium we use for our products, as well as its Duracoat® protection, is manufactured in an ethical way, ensuring all aluminium components in our furniture can easily be recycled again, rather than being sent to landfill. It won’t be for some time though, as the aluminium we select for our furniture is commonly used for boatbuilding and water-sensitive shore applications. Team that with Duracoat®, which provides unparalleled protection from the elements and UV resistance, and you have furniture that won’t be going anywhere anytime soon

Another maintenance-free, hardworking material that you might not believe can be recycled; Olefin® is used to create stunning, high-performance cushions and stylish, hardwearing rope furniture. Strong Olefin yarn is handwoven to create sumptuous rope for luxurious, supportive furniture that requires zero maintenance, and is also used to create premium cushions in a variety of colours and weaves that are resistant to stains, abrasions, sunlight, fire and chemicals. Olefin® may be tough enough to withstand extreme weather, regular use, and spillages but it can also be fully recycled. Enjoy this material in a number of our collections, including Amber, Opal, and Topaz.
