We are all more aware of the importance of recycling things, be that re-using plastic bags, composting items or just making sure rubbish is placed in the correct bins.
But what are some of the fruits of al this recycling commitment? Well the products supplied by Filcris are an example of just what recycled plastics can produce.
Lawn edging, raised beds, composters, decking sections, even track board for outdoor model railways are just some of the items offered by Flicris and who will be attending the Creating Landscapes show in October.
The company is based near Cambridge and over the past 20 years has developed the concept of using recycled plastics to be a cost effective alternative everywhere from the garden to the highway.
Filcris' products have been used by local authorities who have seen that items require less maintenance and are graffiti resistant.
But landscapers have also taken advantage of flexible path edging provided by Filcris, which can be bent to almost any shape, as well as using solid posts that can be buried in waterlogged ground and even garden furniture all produced by recycling plastics.
With people seeking out products that are environmentally friendly and keen to learn more about the 'provenance' of things they buy, the Filcris stand could prove a popular stop at the show.
