What we provide
Recycled Plastic Products
Seating
Our recycled plastic seating solutions range from benches and picnic tables through to planter seating. All our seating is weather-resistant and provides enough durability for generations to come.
Landscaping
We offer a range of landscaping products that are all fully recycled from plastic. Our comprehensive range of planters are available in a variety of sizes but if you can’t find what you need, let us know and we’ll see if we can cater to your needs.
Fencing
Whether its a small fence to keep the pets in or a tall privacy fence, we offer solutions to cater to everyone’s needs. Take a look at our fencing options and let us know what you need.

About us
Circular11 was born out of a waste management project in Nepal.
Our two founders, Ben and Connor, lived with families that, like 40% of the world, had two options for the majority of their plastic waste: burn it on open fires, or throw it into waterways. They set out on a mission to turn this plastic into a force for good in all of the communities now being damaged by it. They set up a portable recycling facility that could fit within the size of a shipping container
They spent a year developing composite materials from waste streams, and created an interlocking building block with the intention of deploying it in emerging markets to make sustainable, affordable housing from plastic waste and soon realised, despite its modest trappings, plastic lumber is a more scalable building material to make from plastic waste. They pivoted their production towards high-volume plank manufacture, and sold their first outdoor products made from them by the end of the year.
To gain the world-class manufacturing knowledge they knew they needed, they spent 9 months learning from global commercial leaders in a climate technology programme called Carbon13, and 3 months with the best manufacturing companies in the world in an innovation campus called Circular Valley, in the heartland of German industry.
They spent time in India on a UK/India trade mission in order to understand how to commercialise their technology in emerging markets, and began to prepare our UK operations for scale.
They raised £500,000 to set-up a full-scale recycling and manufacturing facility in Dorset, England, and developed a machine learning-led approach to manufacturing with low-grade waste streams. They came out at the end of the year closer than ever to a scalable manufacturing solution.
They mainstreamed the use of post-consumer waste in their commercial products, figuring out the quality control issues that ordinarily make them so hard to process. And then developed them in fencing products and acoustic barriers for motorways, pioneering the use of low-grade waste in regulated infrastructure applications.
Our Social Mission
We’re on a mission to turn plastic waste into a resource that enables every community on the planet to meet its need for net-zero growth.
We’re developing and proving our products here in the UK, whilst creating scalable manufacturing systems that we can replicate anywhere in the world. Where currently there is plastic pollution and over-stressed supply chains, we want to create green jobs, clean materials, and a market price for low-grade plastic that will ensure it’s treated as the resource it is.
