Outdoor picnic tables for students' union at UWE Bristol
NBB Recycled furniture helped UWE Bristol to purchase a variety of different recycled plastic picnic tables to for outdoor seating at its students' union. These included activity tables, disabled access tables and standard picnic tables.
NBB Recycled Furniture was contacted byThe University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) with a requirement for several different picnic tables, which would provide students with an outdoor seating for their student union. This would help ensure the university's students are able to socialise whilst staying socially-distanced outside.
Solution
NBB Recycled Furniture helped UWE Bristol to purchase a variety of different recycled plastic picnic tables to suit its requirement, including activity tables, disabled access tables and standard picnic tables. The use of recycled plastic outdoor furniture over the timber alternative has grown in popularity due to its environmentally friendly properties, its ability to last a lifetime and the need for zero annual maintenance.
Outcome
Donna Prince, Building Manager of The Students’ Union at UWE said, “We have recently invested in our outside space on campus and these picnic benches are fantastic. They are very durable, require low maintenance and are made of 100% plastic that fits perfectly with our sustainability commitment. We purchased many variations that include games table, standard and accessibility friendly options to ensure we support our student community."
