Recycled Plastic Backless Bench
This recycled plastic backless bench offers a versatile, contemporary seating solution for shopping centres, schools, train platforms and more. Made in Wales from 100% recycled plastic, it’s vandal-resistant, weatherproof and maintenance-free, with a quick-drying design and a 120-year lifespan that makes it a cost-effective alternative to timber.
With its contemporary, minimalist design, this recycled plastic backless bench is a versatile seating option suited to a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments. From shopping centres and urban walkways to train station platforms, bus shelters and school changing rooms, its simple, backless style makes it adaptable for almost any setting.
Manufactured in the UK from Smartawood, a strong and carbon negative material made entirely from 100% recycled plastic, this backless bench is designed for long-lasting performance. Whereas timber and concrete are susceptible to rotting, splintering or warping over time, Smartawood is resistant to these issues, as well as weather damage and vandalism.
It is the bench’s resistance to moisture that makes it ideally suited to outdoor settings. It dries quickly after rainfall, making it a practical seating solution throughout the year. Free from time-consuming treatments such as staining or painting, it is also a zero-maintenance choice for busy public spaces.
Its robust construction makes it vandal-resistant, giving you peace of mind when installed in high-traffic areas. Cleaning is effortless, requiring only a simple wipe down with warm soapy water, or, for a deeper clean, a domestic jet washer.
Please note: This straight recycled plastic bench arrives fully assembled.

Customer Collection Notice
Please ensure you have pre-booked your collection slot before travelling to site.
When arriving to collect your order, please report to a member of our Warehouse Team who will register your arrival and locate your goods. Once ready, your items will be picked and brought to your vehicle loading area.
During busy periods, there may be a short wait while our yard team assist other customers or complete other loading tasks. We always do our best to work within your booked collection time.
We respectfully draw your attention to the following important points:
- Loading is ultimately the customer’s responsibility. While our team can assist with mechanical loading using forklifts, we cannot handball items into enclosed vehicles. Customers must ensure their vehicle is suitable and that goods are safely loaded and adequately secured before leaving the premises.
- Sharp sheeting, metal goods, and long/heavy items may pose additional handling risks. Please come prepared with high-quality protective gloves, and any appropriate protection materials to avoid damage to your vehicle or restraints (e.g. ropes or straps). The edges of roofing sheets and metal products can be extremely sharp, and care should be taken when handling.
- We strongly recommend that customers bring their own straps, ropes, or other securing materials, as we are unable to provide these at the point of collection.
- If you are unsure of your vehicle’s load capacity, we can advise the approximate weight of your order in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is suitable for transporting the goods safely and legally.
- Cladco will not be held liable for any damage to your vehicle or goods once they have been loaded and leave our premises. Loading assistance is provided entirely at the customer’s own risk.
Click & Collect – Pre-Booking Required
You are welcome to collect your order from either our Okehampton (Devon) or Andover (Hampshire) site. All collections must be pre-booked in advance so your items can be picked, packed and ready for you.
Please do not travel to site without a confirmed collection time, as we cannot guarantee your order will be available.
Once your items are ready, you will receive an email with a link to book your collection slot. Please note, same-day collections are not available and bookings must be made at least two hours in advance.
When you arrive, please bring your order confirmation and follow the signage to the collection area where a member of our team will assist you.
