Dear Simon Pickles,

There are so many recycled plastic products including ones involving various types of board construction, that a summary must include your perusal of some of the directories.
Atleast go through that of the American Plastics Council called Recycled Plastic Products Source Book (1275 K St, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20005); and The Official Recycled Products Guide (harder to obtain gratis, but their phone number in the US is 1-800-267-0707).

A few examples:

Plastic pallets are being produced by Nucon, Deerfield, IL; Robinson Pallet, Woodbine, NJ.
There are plastic shipping cartons by e.g. Fremont Die Cut Products, Inc.
There are other shipping containers from Envirosafe Products and Polyfoam Packers Corp.

No mention of a firm constitutes anything but picking them out at random from directories; no endorsement is implied. -- Research Library for RCRA
