• Sustainability

    Eco. Always.

    At Park Furniture Australia we want to fundamentally change the way you think about outdoor furniture. No longer is it necessary to chop down trees to create beautiful long lasting outdoor furniture like park benches, picnic settings and park seats, instead Park Furniture Australia helps councils across Australia to drive the circular economy by being part of the process of taking soft plastic waste and aluminium offcuts out of landfill and remaking other durable products with it.

    As an Australian manufacturer of high-quality sustainable outdoor furniture for urban environments, Park Furniture Australia’s drive and passion are to make Australia more sustainable for future generations.

    Sustainabily Built

    To sustain is to endure, to be able to maintain something at a certain rate or level for a prolonged period of time. Sustainability is about maintaining an ecological balance and ensuring that future generations can maintain this balance as our planet evolves.

    At Park Furniture Australia we have made it our mission to design and manufacture stunning park furniture that is durable, graffiti-proof, insect-resistant, comfortable and 100% sustainable. We truly believe that choosing recycled and reconstituted plastic bags as the raw material for our outdoor furniture products is the very best option we have in this market.

    Our oceans and landfills are jam-packed with plastic bags; so why not reuse and repurpose this non-degradable plastic waste into ECOPLASWOOD. This wood-look-like plastic is made up of a molecular structure that is durable and strong. We take what is essentially the worst rubbish we can find and use that to make beautiful, robust, well-designed and comfortable outdoor furniture for public spaces that stand the test of time.

    100% sustainable outdoor furniture

    ECOPLASWOOD

    Our vision is to make beautiful outdoor furniture out of truly sustainably sourced raw materials. We all know that the soft plastic and plastic waste problem is monumental and we all know that plastic can be quite easily recycled into useful hardy products. This is why we choose to manufacture our timber slat look products out of what we call ECOPLASWOOD, a recycled HDPE plastic that is literally saving all kinds of plastic from being thrown into landfill.

    80% of the furniture we manufacture are made from ECOPLASWOOD. Sustainable, robust, maintenance free, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Park furniture solutions designed in Australia for Australian conditions that won’t split, warp, crack, craze, or discolour.
