Sustainable Construction Products from Recycled Plastic
Ecoplastic Recycling has been pioneering the use of 100% recycled plastic in construction since 1997. Our expertise lies in transforming post-consumer plastic waste into durable, maintenance-free structures for architectural and landscaping projects across Ireland and the UK. By combining advanced manufacturing techniques with traditional craftsmanship, we deliver innovative solutions such as boardwalks, street furniture, and play equipment that outperform traditional materials. Our commitment to sustainability is evidenced by our BS-8555 environmental management certification and partnerships with leading ecological organisations. With 17 years of specialist knowledge, we collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to create eco-sustainable infrastructure that lasts up to 40 years.Our material science expertise ensures products resist rot, UV degradation, and marine corrosion while maintaining aesthetic appeal. As Ireland's leading provider of recycled plastic construction solutions, we balance technical precision with environmental responsibility, offering tailored design support and nationwide delivery. Our proven track record includes landmark projects like Europe's largest recycled plastic boardwalk, demonstrating our capability to tackle complex engineering challenges while maintaining strict environmental standards.

Services
Boardwalk Construction
Our boardwalk systems use 100% recycled HDPE to create durable, slip-resistant pathways for coastal, woodland, and urban environments. The material's thermal stability prevents warping while its load-bearing capacity meets civil engineering standards. Each installation comes with technical support for groundworks and structural integration.
Street Furniture
We manufacture benches, planters, and litter bins from homogenous recycled plastic that resists graffiti, weathering, and vandalism. The material's inherent strength eliminates rust or splintering while requiring no painting or sealing during its 40-year lifespan.
Play Equipment
Our playground installations combine safety with sustainability using splinter-free recycled plastic components. The material's impact resistance and smooth finish meet EN1176 standards while its colourfast properties maintain visual appeal in outdoor environments.
Fencing Systems
Our fencing solutions use structural recycled plastic profiles that withstand extreme weather without rotting or corroding. The system integrates with standard posts while offering acoustic benefits and requiring no preservative treatments.
Decking Solutions
We provide slip-resistant decking boards with built-in UV protection for residential and commercial applications. The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption while the thermal expansion characteristics allow for stable installations in varying climates.
People
Pat Fitzsimons
Founder
Pat Fitzsimons established Ecoplastic Recycling in 1997 after identifying opportunities to repurpose plastic waste during his road-marking business operations. His vision transformed recycled plastic into structural construction materials, creating Ireland's leading eco-sustainable building solutions provider.
Questions
What materials are Ecoplastic Recycling products made from?
Our products use 100% recycled HDPE/LDPE plastic from post-consumer waste like bottles and packaging. This material combines structural strength with environmental sustainability.
Do your products require maintenance?
No maintenance is needed. The material resists rot, UV degradation, and marine corrosion. Occasional power washing maintains appearance without chemical treatments.
How long do your products last?
With a design life of 40 years, our products outlast timber by 3x and require no replacement cycles. This longevity reduces lifetime costs compared to traditional materials.
Can you create custom designs?
Yes, our technical team collaborates on bespoke projects. We've delivered custom boardwalks, play equipment, and architectural features tailored to specific engineering and aesthetic requirements.
Are your products environmentally certified?
We hold BS-8555 environmental management certification and partner with organisations like The Carbon Trust to maintain rigorous sustainability standards across our operations.
Where can I see your products installed?
Our portfolio includes the Boyne Greenway boardwalk, Dublin City Centre planters, and Skerries Mills boardwalk. Case studies with client testimonials demonstrate real-world performance across Ireland and the UK.
