Eamonn Harnett, South Dublin County Council - Ecoplastic was a simple choice for us. Its maintenance free, provides the perfect mix of good quality and durability and at a favourable price. Feedback has been very positive and we'll to continue to use Ecoplastic in the future to maintain a uniform look around our facilities.
| Dennis Lafferty, Glenveagh National Park, National Parks & Wildlife Service. - The Ecoplastic decking provides a durable, highly non-slip surface for the bridge, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the trail in all conditions. The installation costs are a similar to those of wooden alternatives but on-going maintenance costs are kept to an absolute minimum because recycled plastic does not deteriorate.

Tommy Dolan, Roads Division, Leitrim County Council - Ecoplastic seating offer the kind of comfort and accessability that local authorities look for when sourcing furniture for public works, parks and gardens. Minimal maintenance, as well as vandal resistance made Ecoplastic the right choice for us.
| Mrs Elder, Newtonbreda Primary School, Co. Antrim - Our benches and tables have been installed for over 3 years and they still look pristine. The tables are especially popular with the children but the entire range is very "primary school friendly.

Ronan O'Flaherty, Irish National Heritage Park, Co. Wexford - We're absolutely delighted with our new boardwalk! We had been looking at ways to open up an almost impassable swamp woodland to our visitors, to give them an impression of what Ireland would have been like when the first humans arrived here over 9000 years ago. We wanted a natural looking surface but the waterlogged conditions made use of conventional materials impossible and in any case we wanted to avoid use of preservatives in such a sensitive environment.
- Ecoplastic provided the solution: an eco-friendly product, inert, non-degrading, non-slip and one which 'fitted in' with a very special landscape. At just over 160m long and supported on six foot piles driven deep into the sediments, this was a major undertaking for the Park, but it has become a real asset bringing people into an environment they could never hope to see otherwise. We found Ecoplastic extremely good to deal with as a company - flexible, supportive and responsive to our needs as a client.
| Jerry Wray, Birdwatch Ireland, Co. Wicklow - Ecoplastic is inert in water and will not rot, splinter or break. It was the perfect material for our wet-site boardwalk at Blackditch Meadow, Co. Wicklow, allowing public access to a sensitive site with minimal environmental impact. We're looking forward to many years of low maintenance use and enjoyment from the boardwalk.

Rita Byrne, Ranger, IPCC Fenor Bog Eco Park, Co. Wexford - We installed a recycled plastic walkway across Fenor Bog over a decade ago, to allow access to this important ecological site. The walkway has required little to no maintenance during that time - we've never had to treat it with preservative or replace any of the members and it remains highly slip resistant. The walkway remains as good-looking and functional today as it did when it was first installed in 2000.
| Aodhan Harkin, Strabane Sigersons Gaelic Athletic Club - The benches and bins supplied by Ecoplastic have really added to the facilities. Parents of the children training have commented on the benefits of being able to sit and watch their children on the training pitch, and how the bins have encouraged the park users not to throw litter on the ground. We're very happy with delivery and communication and service from Ecoplastic and have recommended us to other groups and the durability of the material is exceptional.

Diarmuid McGarrigle, Harmony-Community Trust, Glebe House, Co. Down - Ecoplastic benches and tables are attractive, durable and require no maintenance as well as being in line with our green ethos. We've had some of our Ecoplastic benches for over 10 years with virtually no maintenance and our visitors - community groups, schools and special needs children - love them.
| Dermot McCann, The National Trust, Divis & Black Mountain - Ecogrid has performed remarkably well; we're already considering its use at similar sites and have had enquiries from all over Ireland about the source and implementation of the material at various public amenity venues

Mr. O'Dowda, St Annes Primary School, Finaghy, Co Antrim - The provision of Ecoplastic Benches and Picnic Tables has greatly enhanced the outdoor experiences for all the pupils in our playgrounds.
- Pupils, who do not wish to engage in active playtime, now have quiet areas where they can sit and converse with each other, read a book or draw a picture.
- The outdoor furniture resource allows teachers and pupils an opportunity, in good weather, to work outside the classroom. The class can gather at the tables and benches for Teacher instruction, gropu discussion or use them as a abase to examine materials or minibeasts that they have collected from the immediate environment.
