For each type of eco-friendly material there are pros and cons when it comes to sustainability. Using contract furniture made from recycled plastic is a good choice when it comes to sustainability.

Below are 2 reasons why choosing recycled plastic as a material for contract furniture is good for the environment:

1. Helps to reduce landfill - diverting plastic waste from the landfill

This is the most abundant type of recycled plastic and is often handled at the local level. So, it helps the local economy and recycling firms by channelling this material into a beneficial process.
