Welcome to Robust

Robust Ltd is an engineering company specialising in the recycling and manufacturing of polystyrene based products. The company is based in Ebbw Vale, South Wales, and is the only accredited re-processor of expanded polystyrene in Wales. Robust is one of the largest recycler's of polystyrene in the UK, and has an in house manufacturing facility that can produce a wide range of extrusion profiles and products.

Polystyrene is an excellent packaging material due to its insulating and protective properties. Unfortunately, once goods are delivered and opened polystyrene then becomes a waste material that companies must pay to dispose of. Large, bulky pieces of polystyrene can take up significant space in a waste skip which means the skip becomes full more quickly and therefore needs to be emptied more often increasing costs.

It is conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of tons of waste polystyrene is produced and sent to landfill on an annual basis in the UK alone

That's were Robust comes to the rescue we provide a solution to this ever growing mountain of waste packaging, we purchase waste polystryene and reprocess it so that it can be used to produce eco-friendly products. We sell a range of reprocessed polystryene based polymers for others to use instead of purchasing more expensive virgin material.

Please refer to the Pellet Information page for further information.

We also use the recycled pellets to produce our own products you see in this website. Robust Engineered Timber Substitute offers a real green alternative to wood for both outdoor and inside use, they look like wood work like wood but have none of the inherent problems associated with wood. At the end of its life it can be recycled to be used in making even more environmentally friendly products.

We are able to supply Extruded Profiles in a range of standard sizes and can also make bespoke profiles. We also offer finished products such as fencing and a complete decking system, please see the Product pages for further information or click Why Use Wood? to see a short presentation
