Sustainability
Recycling is our top priority
Unlike conventional materials that often end up as waste in landfills, HDPE is 100% recyclable. This not only reduces the burden on landfills but also conserves valuable resources. Here at Playcom Supplies, we recycle 99% of our HDPE waste material and off-cuts. Customers are also encouraged to send back any Playcom Supplies HDPE products at end of life, and we will recycle all HDPE elements, free of charge. Through embracing this approach, we rescue HDPE from ending up in landfills, enabling its reuse in the creation of new products.
Waste minimisation
We prioritise efficiency and sustainability by optimising the usage of raw materials, implementing eco-friendly design principles, and incorporating lean manufacturing concepts. For example, raw material usage is maximised by optimising component sheet layouts, and through product designs that are led by material dimensions, thickness and shape. We also apply energy efficient manufacturing processes such as optimizing production schedules so that valuable energy is never wasted. Through these integrated approaches, we not only minimise waste but also contribute to a more resource-efficient and environmentally conscious production process.
Products that are built to last
As part of our commitment to sustainability, our products are built to last. Our aim is to build a reputation based on quality which is why we only use high quality materials and components. The products you receive from us will stand the rigorous test of time in an outdoor play environment.
Choices to suit all schemes
We actively promote the utilisation of recycled plastic materials, offering a range of eco-friendly options, including recycled plastic posts and post-industrial recycled core sheets. By incorporating these sustainable alternatives, we contribute to the reduction of environmental impact, providing our customers with choices that align with responsible and green practices.
