Alongside our core GRP and steel access and safety systems, Barclay & Mathieson supplies a carefully selected range of plastic components, designed for use in demanding outdoor applications.
These products often play a supporting role within wider access, safety and infrastructure schemes, offering a practical solution where durability, longevity and minimal maintenance are key considerations. Many of these products are Recycled Wood Plastics, manufactured from 100% recycled plastics saved from landfill.
Our recycled plastic range is commonly used to support and complement access routes, pedestrian areas and groundworks.
Typical applications include:
Used to complement our steel and GRP handrailed walkways, our recycled plastic products help create integrated site solutions.
Manufactured from waste plastic diverted from landfill, these products support more sustainable project outcomes without sacrificing strength or durability. Recycled plastic provides a long-lasting alternative to timber, particularly in applications involving direct contact with the ground.
The kgCO2 per kg of material of our recycled wood plastics is 0.405, compared to hardwood at 0.860, steel at 3.057 and virgin plastic HDPE at 3.592, confirming this material’s lower environmental impact over traditional materials.
At the end of their service life, our recycled plastic products can themselves be recycled, supporting responsible material use over the full project lifecycle.
Recycled plastic products are specified across a wide range of commercial, industrial and public sector environments, including infrastructure, utilities, manufacturing sites and external public spaces.
Their resistance to weather, moisture and wear makes them especially suitable for permanent outdoor installations where reliability and low maintenance are essential.
Our team can advise on where recycled plastic products offer the best technical and practical fit within your project, helping ensure they work effectively alongside GRP and steel access systems.
