Looking to create an office space that’s bold, functional, and eco-friendly?
Recycled plastic panels are fast becoming a go-to material for interior designers, architects, and business owners who want to build sustainably — without sacrificing aesthetics or performance.
From boardrooms to breakrooms, these durable, low-maintenance panels bring life, colour, and conscience into the modern workplace.
Let’s explore the top 5 ways recycled plastic panels are transforming office interiors across Australia.
🔍 What Makes Recycled Plastic Ideal for Office Interiors?
Before we jump into use cases, here’s why recycled plastic panels work so well indoors:
💧 Water-, stain-, and mould-resistant
🔇 Available with sound-dampening acoustic properties
🧽 Easy to clean and maintain
♻️ Made from 100% Australian post-consumer waste
🌿 VOC-free and safe for indoor air quality
🖼️ Customisable colours and textures

🪟 1. Office Desks and Worktops
Forget MDF or laminate — recycled plastic worktops are tougher, greener, and way more unique.
Available in thicknesses from 10mm to 40mm
Resistant to coffee stains, scratches, and everyday wear
Custom colours, swirls, and branding options available
Perfect for shared workspaces, co-working hubs, and hot desk zones.
🎯 Pro tip: Use bold colourways for collaboration zones and calming neutrals in quiet focus areas.
🚪 2. Joinery and Storage Units
Cabinetry, drawers, and built-in shelving are all excellent applications for recycled panels.
Won’t warp or swell in humid conditions
Easy to cut and shape using standard joinery tools
Consistent colour throughout — no veneers to chip or peel
Great for fit-outs in offices, clinics, or education spaces that demand durability with design flexibility.
🔊 3. Acoustic Wall Panels and Partitions
Yes — recycled plastic can help absorb sound! Our panels are great for:
Decorative wall treatments in boardrooms
Divider panels between open-plan desks
Meeting room acoustic control
And with custom cutouts, colour blends, and textured finishes, they offer style and soundproofing in one.
💡 Want to create an acoustic feature wall that doubles as a sustainability statement? Recycled plastic is the answer.
🧱 4. Feature Walls and Brand Installations
Need a visual centrepiece for your office lobby, kitchen or breakout space?
Add logos, patterns, or geometric shapes
Use CNC-cut panels for eye-catching installations
Show your brand values — sustainability and creativity
Each panel is unique, with colour blends and flecks that tell the story of its recycled origin.
“When your wall starts as waste and ends as a design feature, that’s innovation.” — Resourceful Living Design Team
🚻 5. Wet Area Fit-Outs: Kitchens, Bathrooms & Utility Spaces
Recycled plastic panels are naturally water-resistant, making them ideal for:
Kitchen splashbacks
Bathroom partitions
Under-sink storage or benchtops
Unlike wood or laminate, they won’t swell or degrade when exposed to moisture — a huge plus for long-term durability.
🔄 Bonus: Good for People and the Planet
Using recycled plastic in office interiors isn’t just about looks. It helps:
Divert waste from Australian landfills
Reduce carbon emissions in construction
Create a safer, cleaner indoor environment (VOC-free!)
