Prefabricated, quickly installed pen and fence elements for agricultural use.
In horse stables and cattle farms, replacing traditional wooden elements with products made of recycled plastic provides excellent durability, as plastic is resistant to moisture, fungus and damage caused by insects (such as flies), so it does not rot, warp or crack due to weather or chewing. This solution is practically maintenance-free, as plastic surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect, and there is no need to paint them annually or replace rotting parts, which results in significant savings in time and money in the long run. In addition, in the spirit of environmental awareness, the use of recycled plastics reduces the need for wood, contributing to the protection of forests and creating a safe, splinter-free environment for horses.
PLASTIC MATERIAL
GREEN SOLUTIONS
Facilities built from Miell Green recycled plastic, including horse paddock fencing, livestock pens, and agricultural building cladding, deliver a compelling whole-life financial case. Unlike traditional timber, these products require no annual maintenance, repainting, or replacement of rotting sections. Over a 20-year service life, that translates into significant ongoing cost savings for farm operators, estates, and land managers. From an environmental perspective, every tonne of post-consumer plastic waste converted into structural profiles, including agricultural films, feed bags, rope, and PET bottles, is waste that would otherwise enter the soil system, causing microplastic contamination and degrading productive farmland. Recycled plastic infrastructure is a direct, measurable response to one of agriculture's most persistent waste problems.
On the funding side, the timing has never been better. Across the UK and Ireland, governments are actively funding the infrastructure that Miell Green products replace, including fencing, gates, troughs, and livestock facilities. Grant schemes are open right now in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, many covering 40% to 75% of the cost. State buyers are already specifying recycled plastic materials under public procurement frameworks. The money is there. The policy direction is there. Switching to a maintenance-free, grant-eligible alternative is not just the sustainable choice; it is increasingly the obvious financial one. In short, the combination of zero maintenance costs, farm plastic waste reduction, and a grant landscape structured to fund exactly this type of capital infrastructure makes recycled-plastic agricultural products not just an environmental choice but a financially rational one.

Construction of horse boxes made of fungus-free, high-strength recycled plastic
made of waterproof materials. >
Horse boxes made of recycled plastic sold by MIELL GREEN are extremely durable and resistant to the everyday challenges of horse stalls, as unlike wood, they do not rot, do not absorb urine and moisture, thus creating a more hygienic and healthier environment for horses. Boxes built from these materials are solid and practically maintenance-free, as they do not require annual disinfecting painting or the replacement of rotting parts, which results in significant time and cost savings for horse owners in the long run. The surface of the plastic element is non-porous, so the disinfection of elements built from them can be cheaply solved with a clean wash. In addition, by recycling plastic waste, we not only reduce the environmental burden, but also protect forests, so you can ensure the comfort and safety of your horse with a sustainable, eco-friendly solution.

Carbon methodology · cradle to gate
HOW WE CALCULATE
OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.
No estimates pulled from the air. Every figure on this page is built from what we actually measured at our factory in 2025, using the principles of the European standard for construction product declarations, EN 15804+A2. This is how we reach the numbers, and what they look like now.
Status. The figures here are an internal cradle-to-gate estimate from our 2025 production data, prepared to EN 15804 principles. They are not yet third-party verified. A formal, independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is in preparation, and these numbers will be updated to the verified values once it is published.
01 WHERE WE LANDED
The footprint to make one kilogram of Miell Green profile, from raw material to factory gate.
COLORED PRODUCT
0.142
kg CO₂e per kg · conservative, grid-average electricity
GREY ECO PRODUCT
0.073
kg CO₂e per kg · no colour or additives
For perspective, making one kilogram of brand-new (virgin) plastic is around 2.1 kg CO₂e. Our coloured profile is roughly 93% lower, and the grey line lower still. The reason is simple: we start from plastic that already exists.
02 HOW THE NUMBER IS BUILT
The 0.142 figure for the coloured product is the sum of four parts. Three of them are visible below; the fourth, the recycled material itself, contributes nothing.
Additives 0.070
Electricity 0.055
Transport 0.018
Recycled material — 0.000 Colour & UV additives — 0.070 Electricity — 0.055 Inbound transport — 0.018
0.000 + 0.070 + 0.055 + 0.018 = 0.142 kg CO₂e / kg
03 WHAT WE
MEASURED IN 2025
A full calendar year of real production data from our solar-powered factory in Mezőlak, Hungary.
The recipe is the same across the range, so products differ only in final weight: polypropylene 50%, polyethylene 25%, PET 25%, all from Hungarian household and commercial plastic waste, used as flakes and fed straight into extrusion with no separate granulation step.

04 STEP BY STEP
The standard splits the factory-gate footprint into three stages, A1 to A3. Here is what sits in each one.
A1 · Raw materials
THE RECYCLED
PLASTIC ENTERS AT ZERO
Under EN 15804+A2, recycled material that has reached its “end of waste” carries none of the carbon from its first life. The energy that made the original plastic belongs to the product it was first. So our feedstock starts at zero, and the only raw-material burden is the small amount of colour masterbatch and UV stabiliser.
2.5% additives × 2.8 kg CO₂e/kg = 0.070 kg CO₂e / kg
A2 · Transport in
SHORT, LOCAL SUPPLY LINES
Every raw material travels a short distance by road from Hungarian suppliers. Our packaging travels zero kilometres because we make our own pallets from our own recycled plastic and reuse them.
All inbound legs combined = 0.018 kg CO₂e / kg
A3 · Production
CLEAN ELECTRICITY, NO GAS
Electricity is our only significant production input. We use 0.32 kWh per kg, well below typical for this kind of product, because we run recycled flakes directly into extrusion. Around 17% comes from our own rooftop solar at zero carbon; the rest from the grid. There is no natural gas, and our forklifts are electric.
Grid share × Hungarian grid factor = 0.055 kg CO₂e / kg
05 WHERE
OUR MATERIALS COME FROM
The inbound transport that makes up the 0.018 figure, leg by leg.
| MATERIAL | ORIGIN | DISTANCE | MODE |
|---|---|---|---|
| PET feedstock | Győr | 55 Km | Road |
| PE feedstock | Fehérvár | 105 Km | Road |
| PP feedstock | Balotaszállás | 255 km | Road |
| Colour masterbatch | Plasticolor, Dunaharaszti | 182 km | Road |
| UV stabiliser | Israel | ~2,400 km | Sea + road |
| Packaging | Made in-house | 0 km | Reused pallets |
The UV stabiliser travels furthest, but it is a tiny part of the recipe and it comes by sea, the lowest-carbon freight there is. Its entire journey adds about 0.0004 kg CO₂e per kg, around a quarter of one percent of the total. Distance looks dramatic; carbon does not follow.
06 THE FIGURES
BEHIND THE FIGURES
Every calculation multiplies an amount we measured by a published emission factor. These are the factors we used, and where they come from.
| INPUT | FACTOR | SOURCE |
|---|---|---|
| Recycled feedstock (PP, PE, PET) | 0 | EN 15804+A2 end-of-waste rule, PCR 2019:14 |
| Colour masterbatch & UV | 2.8 kg CO₂e/kg | Built from ecoinvent: PE/PP carrier ~2.0, carbon black ~2.5–3.5, UV stabiliser ~6–9 at low dose |
| Road freight | 0.105 kg CO₂e/t·km | DEFRA / UK Government 2024 conversion factors |
| Sea freight | 0.012 kg CO₂e/t·km | Container ship, UK Government 2024 |
| Our rooftop solar | 0 | Self-generated, self-consumed; panels excluded as capital goods (ISO 14044) |
| Hungarian grid electricity | 0.206 kg CO₂e/kWh | IEA national grid factor, 2023 |

For a finished product the per-kg figure scales with weight. Our 65 kg garden bench, for example, carries about 9 kg CO₂e to manufacture, and because it lasts decades with no treatment and is recycled at the end, its whole-life footprint stays low where shorter-lived materials climb with every replacement.
09 WHAT WE INCLUDE, AND WHAT WE KEEP SEPARATE
Honesty about the boundary is the difference between a credible number and a misleading one.
Inside this number (A1 to A3): raw materials, transport of those materials to our factory, and everything that happens in production. This is the standard “cradle to gate” boundary and the figure we compare and publish.
Reported separately (A4): delivery from Hungary to the customer. For a bench delivered to Scotland this currently adds about 0.192 kg CO₂e per kg, because of the long road journey. We keep it as its own line rather than folding it into the headline, because under the standard transport is always reported separately. When our UK production comes online, this delivery figure falls by roughly 85%.
Coming with the verified EPD: the full set of environmental indicators beyond carbon, and the end-of-life and recycling credits, all calculated with verified data and independently checked.
10 HOW WE GO LOWER
We have already pulled the big levers, so the next gains are specific and deliberate. Here is each one, what it would do to the number, and the steps to get there. Ordered by impact.
GATE FIGURE
GREEN ELECTRICITY PAPERWORK
0.142→0.088 kg CO₂e/kg
-38 %
Electricity is 38% of the footprint. Confirming Guarantee of Origin certificates lets us report our renewable supply on a market basis, taking the grid slice almost to zero. It is a documentation step, not a capital project, and we report it transparently as market-based alongside the grid figure.
STEP
Ask E.ON to confirm Guarantee of Origin (származási garancia) certificates for our supply.
Obtain the annual certificate covering our consumption and keep it for the EPD verifier.
Report the market-based and grid figures side by side.
GATE FIGURE
RECYCLED CARRIER MASTERBATCH
0.142→0.112 kg CO₂e/kg
-21 %
Additives are 49% of the footprint, and most of that is virgin carrier resin. Our supplier Plasticolor runs a recycled-carrier line (ReColour Plus). On a recycled carrier the additive factor falls from about 2.8 toward 1.6, a genuine physical cut that strengthens the circular story.
STEP
Ask Plasticolor about recycled-carrier (ReColour Plus) grades for our colours and volumes.
Request samples and confirm colour match and UV performance in production trials.
Get a product carbon footprint for the grade to replace our estimate.
DELIVERY TO THE UK
UK PRODUCTION
0.334→0.168 kg CO₂e/kg delivered
-50 %
Producing in the UK barely changes the gate figure, but it collapses the long haul from Hungary. Delivery (module A4) drops from 0.192 to about 0.026 per kg, an 85% cut on the part of the journey that currently counts against us with UK customers.
STEP
Progress the UK facility plan and source UK recycled feedstock locally.
Establish a UK take-back and recycling loop.
Declare the short UK delivery distance once production is live.
DELIVERY TO THE UK
HYBRID TRUCK TO THE UK
0.334→0.306 kg CO₂e/kg delivered
-8 %
Lower-emission trucks on the Hungary-to-UK haul cut the delivery leg. Honestly, on long motorway runs a hybrid saves only around 15%. The bigger win is HVO renewable diesel, a drop-in fuel needing no new vehicles, which can cut this leg by roughly 85%. This lever mainly matters in the interim, before UK production removes the long haul altogether.
STEP
Specify hybrid, or better HVO-fuelled, trucks with our UK logistics partner.
Treat it as an interim measure ahead of UK production.
Move to electric trucks on the route as they become viable.
GATE FIGURE
HYBRID DELIVERY INSIDE HUNGARY
0.142→0.138 kg CO₂e/kg
-3 %
Moving inbound material transport and local Hungarian distribution to hybrid or electric trucks trims module A2. It is a small lever, because inbound transport is only 13% of the gate figure, but it is real and the short regional routes suit hybrids well.
STEP
Move inbound and local Hungarian routes to hybrid or electric trucks.
Prioritise the shorter, stop-start regional legs where hybrids save most.
Coordinate with our Hungarian logistics partners.

And delivered to the UK: the cradle-to-delivered figure is about 0.334 today. UK production alone takes it to roughly 0.168. With the gate improvements above and UK production together, a coloured product made and delivered in Britain could reach around 0.080, less than a quarter of today’s delivered footprint.
Method. Cradle-to-gate (modules A1 to A3) carbon footprint per kilogram of product, prepared to the principles of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, using primary production data for the 2025 calendar year. Recycled feedstock enters at zero upstream burden under the standard’s end-of-waste rule. Electricity is reported on a location-based basis (Hungarian national grid) with self-generated solar at zero; a market-based figure using verified green electricity is shown separately. The colour-masterbatch and UV-stabiliser emission factor is built up from ecoinvent component data and is the largest single source of uncertainty in the coloured-product figure.
Status and verification. These are internal estimates and are not yet third-party verified. A formal, independently verified Environmental Product Declaration to EN 15804+A2 is in preparation. All figures will be updated to the verified values on publication. Comparator and context figures (virgin plastic) are drawn from recognised life-cycle databases and are indicative.
