Green Plastic Wood was born from Mr. Eugene De Waal’s passion to transform recycled plastic into durable, eco-friendly furniture and more. Using 100% recycled plastic waste—both post-consumer and “in-house” factory scrap, we produce a diverse range of products built on the simple philosophy: If it can be made from wood, it can be made from recycled plastic.
Our Head Office and factory, located in Heidelberg, serve as the heart of our operations, enabling efficient distribution across Southern Africa. By manufacturing all products on-site, we maintain full control over quality and offer bespoke solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. We proudly operate our own production line, extruding plastic planks from 100% recycled waste, ensuring unmatched quality, consistency, and independence from third-party suppliers.
As a family-run business, Green Plastic Wood’s strength comes from its people. Founder Eugene De Waal (Snr) leads alongside his wife Adel, Director and CEO of the KZN branch, and their two sons, Eugene Jnr and Gian, directors of the North West branch. Eugene Jnr is also head of production, while Gian leads marketing.
Both sons hold BCom degrees along with additional qualifications, bringing fresh expertise to the business. Green Plastic Wood is not only committed to sustainability and reducing landfill waste but also dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service, cutting-edge styles, and superior quality products.
Our products are crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled plastics, including HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene).
Please note that, due to the nature of recycled materials, exact colour matching may vary between orders.
We operate our own production line, extruding 100% recycled plastic for unmatched quality and total control.
To ensure top-quality products, we produce our own recycled material. We collect plastic directly from landfills, bring it to our factory, and transform it into durable plastic wood for our range. Safe for both humans and animals, this process is one of the most effective ways to protect and preserve our environment.
Our custom-built equipment is designed specifically to create the highest-grade recycled plastic wood. At our factory, quality is never compromised, and production runs efficiently to meet demand. Recycling plastic has never been easier or more impactful.
At Green Plastic Wood, sustainability goes beyond recycling. Our solar-powered operations help reduce our carbon footprint, allowing us to turn waste into lasting products while making a greener choice for the future.
MADE FROM 100% POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED PLASTIC WASTE
We source and reclaim recycled plastic, turning waste into strength. The benefits are clear: a cleaner planet and a superior, more durable product for our clients.
FROM WASTE TO WONDER
This is where trash becomes treasure. Our specialised extruders transform recycled plastic into solid, durable planks, ready for a new purpose.
PREPARING THE PLASTIC
Once the recycled plastic arrives, our team sorts, prepares and batches the material by colour, ensuring it’s ready for the next stage of production.
BUILT FOR YOU
Our recycled plastic planks are crafted into your chosen products, carefully prepared and ready for delivery, built to last for years to come.
