Outdoor spaces play an important role in supporting health, wellbeing and recovery. Whether it’s a hospital courtyard, care home garden, rehabilitation centre or community healthcare facility, well-designed outdoor environments provide patients, residents, visitors and staff with places to relax, socialise and enjoy the benefits of being outdoors.
At Second Life Products Wales (SLPW), we manufacture a wide range of products from 100% recycled plastic, providing healthcare providers with a durable, sustainable and maintenance-free alternative to traditional timber and many composite materials. Manufactured in-house in South Wales, our products are designed to provide decades of reliable performance while helping reduce maintenance costs across healthcare estates.
Accessibility is a key consideration within healthcare environments. Our recycled plastic products help create outdoor spaces that are welcoming and inclusive for people of all ages and abilities.
Accessible planters and raised beds enable wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to enjoy gardening comfortably, while our benches, picnic tables and seating areas provide places for patients, visitors and staff to rest and spend time outdoors. Combined with decking, walkways and interpretation lecterns, our products can help transform gardens into therapeutic spaces that encourage relaxation and social interaction.
Healthcare facilities require products that remain safe and attractive throughout years of daily use. Unlike traditional timber, recycled plastic will not rot, splinter or crack, reducing the risk of injury and eliminating the need for regular painting, staining or preservative treatments.
The non-porous surface is easy to clean and highly resistant to moisture, making it particularly well suited to outdoor healthcare environments where hygiene, durability and appearance are all important considerations.
Our recycled plastic range is suitable for a variety of healthcare settings, including:
Popular products include benches, picnic tables, accessible planters, raised beds, decking, fencing, interpretation lecterns, barrier planters and bin stores, all designed to create attractive outdoor environments with minimal maintenance.
Access to green spaces has been shown to support wellbeing, making outdoor areas an increasingly valuable part of healthcare environments. Our products help create attractive gardens and communal spaces that encourage relaxation, rehabilitation and social interaction while remaining practical for healthcare providers to maintain.
Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, our products also contribute to sustainability goals by diverting waste from landfill and reducing the environmental impact associated with regular replacement of traditional timber products.
At Second Life Products Wales, we manufacture all of our products in-house, allowing us to maintain exceptional quality while offering bespoke solutions where required. Whether you’re improving a small courtyard garden or developing a large healthcare landscape project, our experienced team can help specify products that meet the needs of your facility.
By choosing recycled plastic products from SLPW, healthcare providers can create safe, welcoming and accessible outdoor spaces that enhance wellbeing, reduce maintenance costs and continue performing for decades.
