Frequently Asked Questions About 100% Recycled Plastic

We answer the main questions about our materials, sustainability, quality, applications, logistics and solutions for companies and public administrations.

Materials, Sustainability and Quality

Why do you use 100% recycled plastic in your products?

We are committed to the circular economy. Using 100% recycled plastic allows us to reduce our carbon footprint, prevent tonnes of plastic waste from ending up in landfills or the ocean, and offer a sustainable alternative without compromising functionality.

Does a recycled plastic product have the same durability and strength as a virgin plastic product?

Yes, and even greater. The material undergoes rigorous selection, filtering and technical treatment processes. We guarantee mechanical strength, durability and thermal performance superior to virgin plastic in all its commonly recommended applications.

Where does the recycled material you use come from?

The plastic comes from post-consumer sources (packaging, bottles and recovered materials, mixed plastic) and post-industrial sources (reused production waste). All material is sorted and processed in accordance with environmental management regulations.

Technical Specifications

Do recycled plastic products require any special care or storage in our warehouse?

No. They can be stored under the same conditions as any conventional plastic product, even when directly and continuously exposed to intense UV rays outdoors.

Is the product 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life?

Yes, it is a fully recyclable product. At the end of its use cycle, it can be reintroduced into the recycling process to be transformed into new products.

Are all products in the catalogue made from recycled plastic?

Every product in our catalogue contains 100% recycled material and complies with the 100% recycled plastic standard.

Myths and Questions About 100% Recycled Plastic

Is 100% recycled plastic lower quality or easier to break?

No, quite the opposite. The plastic undergoes industrial filtering and homogenisation processes that give it superior mechanical properties compared with virgin plastic.

Do the products have a bad smell, imperfections or an unattractive appearance?

They do not have a bad smell. Impurities and odours are removed during thermal processing. As for appearance, the surface finish is clean and uniform, although some pieces may show slight variations in tone that demonstrate the authenticity of the recycled material.

Does it degrade or break sooner with exposure to sun and rain?

Quite the opposite. We treat the raw material with UV protection additives and thermal stabilisers to ensure resistance to weather, moisture and temperature changes, with performance superior to traditional plastic, wood or other materials.

Is the material safe for health and human contact?

Absolutely. The material used is non-toxic, inert and free from hazardous chemical contaminants. It is completely safe to install in playgrounds, equestrian facilities and protected natural environments, even in water.

If it is recycled, why isn't it much cheaper than conventional plastic?

Because recycling is not simply a matter of “collecting and using”. The process of collection, sorting by polymer type, deep washing, shredding and extrusion requires advanced technology and rigorous quality control to ensure that the final piece is as strong as a new one.

What happens when the product reaches the end of its useful life within my company?

You do not generate a new waste stream. As it is a mono-material product, when it reaches the end of its useful life it can be placed back into the appropriate recycling container or recycling stream to become a new raw material.

Warranty, Regulations and Compatibility

Do the products comply with current European and environmental regulations?

Yes. All our products comply with European regulations on waste management and the circular economy. In addition, by purchasing 100% recycled plastic, your company or administration anticipates and complies with regulations on reducing carbon footprint and taxation of non-reusable plastics.

Can I use these products outdoors or under extreme temperatures?

Absolutely. The material withstands a wide temperature range, from extreme cold to intense heat. It does not crack or rot, thanks to the thermal additives incorporated into the mixture.

Do you have certification or technical data sheets available?

Yes. We provide our customers with detailed technical data sheets for our products, specifying tolerances, polymer composition and mechanical strength tests.

Logistics, Orders and Samples

Can I request a physical sample before placing a large order for my warehouse?

Yes. We understand that you may need to check the quality, texture and strength of the material in person. You can request samples or arrange a visit to our offices/warehouse to see the product firsthand.

Is there immediate stock available or do products have to be made to order?

We maintain permanent stock of our key products in our warehouse to ensure fast deliveries (24–48 hours) or immediate collection from our facilities.

Is the product's weight different from conventional plastic?

No. The density of the processed recycled raw material is practically equivalent to that of virgin plastic, so the pieces have exactly the same weight and volume.

Business and Brand Benefits

How does buying 100% recycled plastic products help my company?

In addition to its real environmental impact, it strengthens your company's sustainability reporting, reinforces your CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and allows you to communicate a clear commitment to the circular economy to your customers.

For Municipalities and Public Tenders

Do the products comply with the European Union's Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria?

Yes. As they are made from 100% recycled material and are fully recyclable at the end of their useful life, they comply with the technical specifications and environmental criteria required by public administrations for direct awards and public tenders.

What advantages does recycled plastic offer for urban furniture and equipment compared with wood or metal?

Zero maintenance: No varnishes, paints or anti-rust treatments are required. Weather resistance: It does not rot in the rain and withstands moisture, sea salt and solar radiation. Vandal resistance: It withstands impacts well, and paint or graffiti can be cleaned easily without damaging the material structure.

Do you issue a certificate of material origin for municipal sustainability reports?

Yes. We provide technical documentation and certifications confirming that the product is 100% recycled. This allows public administrations to justify investment in circular economy projects and in the municipality's environmental report.

Can they be permanently installed in public spaces or municipal parks?

Yes. The products are designed for standard fixing using anchors in concrete, asphalt or soil, just like traditional urban equipment.

Do you offer supply for direct purchases or large-volume municipal orders?

Yes. As we have our own storage and stock at our facilities, we can meet tight delivery deadlines for municipal services and manage batch shipments to different locations within the municipality.

Are you a municipal technician or purchasing manager?

Request the technical data sheets and certificates for your tender specifications or environmental report by contacting our office.

Would you like to see our products?

At our facilities, we have an indoor and outdoor showroom where you can see the quality of our products, materials and finishes.
