Marmax Products Ltd.

Marmax Products Mission Statement is, “To be the market leader in the manufacture of high quality recycled plastic products, including outdoor furniture, play equipment, fencing and boardwalk and to offer a quality, bespoke solution to meet all of our customers’ needs”. Manufacture in the UK of outdoor furniture & products made from 100% UK recycled plastic for public and private use. Education/Leisure/Councils.Marmax Products Ltd moved to Stanley in 1998 and the factory buildings have doubled in size. The company is now one of the market leaders in the manufacture of recycled plastic products, supplying a wide range of products including produce boxes, outdoor furniture and boardwalks to schools, councils and industry. Marmax Products Ltd manufactures all its products on site enabling us to offer bespoke solutions to our customers’ needs as well as a wide range of stock lines. The company has grown with the increased awareness of environmental issues and is proud to boast that it is in the forefront of the drive to reduce landfill and make waste a resource rather than a problem. All products are made from 100% recycled plastic (HDPE) and all are manufactured to our Environmental Standard ISO 14001 registered facility in Durham, England. Recycled products must not be seen as second rate, but an equal or better alternative to what is already available, with the added advantage of helping to improve the environment. Our products are excellent examples of this policy in action and can be used in the classroom or playground as examples of recycling in practice. Recycled plastic is better than timber or metal, especially when considering the cost of maintenance, both financially and environmentally.

• Recycling plastic transforms rubbish into a high quality product
• One bench uses more than the equivalent of 2000 plastic bottles
• Recycling reduces the need for landfill sites
• Our benches become tangible tools when discussing recycling

RECOUP is the national charity developing plastics recycling in the UK, promoting best practices and providing educational and training tools. Plastic is one of the most popular and useful materials of modern times. However, its popularity is part of the problem: we now use about 20 times more plastic than we did 50 years ago. However, we can optimise the lifespan of plastics by reusing and recycling items as many times as possible.
