Looking to lower project costs, meet sustainability goals, and boost your brand?
Using recycled materials for commercial projects is one of the smartest decisions developers, builders, and designers can make today.
At Resourceful Living, we manufacture durable, stylish panels made from 100% recycled plastic. These panels are changing the way Australia builds cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective.
✅ What Are Recycled Materials in Commercial Construction?
Recycled materials refer to building products made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste like plastics, metals, or glass. Our recycled plastic panels are made from milk bottles, containers, and packaging waste, transformed into versatile sheets used in:
Office fit-outs
Retail joinery
Outdoor furniture
Public infrastructure

💰 1. Reduce Long-Term Costs in Construction
Recycled plastic panels are not just eco-friendly they’re budget-friendly too.
No painting, sealing, or oiling required
Resistant to rot, mould, pests, and UV
Less maintenance and fewer replacements
Over time, this can slash material and labour costs for commercial projects especially in high-traffic or outdoor areas.
“Sustainable doesn’t mean more expensive. It means smarter choices.” – Resourceful Living
