A sustainable-product manufacturer has sold 50 picnic tables made from recycled plastic to three historic pubs in the East Midlands.

Derbyshire-based TDP supplied 36 of the Springbank beer garden furniture items to the 19th century Knockerdown Inn at Carsington.

It also sold a total of 14 of the picnic tables to two pubs with 17th century origins, The Old Gate Inn at Brassington and The Horns in Ashbourne.

Each piece of furniture was made using recycled waste from more than 70,000 plastic bottle tops.

Kym Barlow, commercial director at TDP, said: “We were very proud to supply our Springbank picnic tables to The Knockerdown Inn, The Old Gate Inn and The Horns.

“We pride ourselves on creating products that are great for sustainability but also great for customers, in that they will carry on looking good for many years.

“As more people discover the impressive products that can be created from recycled plastic waste, we hope to encourage a renewed increase in recycling.”

She added: “At TDP we are fond of a visit to Derbyshire’s brilliant pubs so we can relax as a team and it’s great to be able to sit at our own tables when we do.”
