Working in conjunction with Kildare County Council, Ecoplastic recently unveiled a new and innovative use of their product at historic Leixlip Spa.

The Leixlip Spa situated close to the Royal Canal , Ireland at Louisa Bridge was discovered in 1793 by a group of work men excavating for the canal. William Connolly who acquired Leixlip Castle in 1732 planned to develop the spa into a classical thermal spa but to no avail.

The spa waters bubble from the ground at a constant 75 degrees and drain into the Rye River below. The spa was widely used over the years but since the 1960s it has fallen into disrepair. To preserve the spa, a committee was set up from members of Leixlip Town Council , Kildare County Council , An Taisce , Duchas the National History Museum . Wikipedia has more on the history of the site.

Using cutting edge products, including 100% recycled plastic steel-reinforced boards and heavy-duty decking, a new and attactive installation of access steps allow a greater number of residents and tourists alike a chance to visit the renowned site.
