Plastic to Public Good

Local Bay plastic, turned into lumber and furniture that never rots.

Everwood USA turns recycled plastic into wood-like lumber and lasting outdoor products — for building materials, public furniture, and branded pieces — across Miami, Miami Beach, and Biscayne Bay.

Miami-Dade’s 2024 International Coastal Cleanup collected 25,082 pounds of trash at 71 sites with 3,615 volunteers — described by organizers as the 3rd-largest county ICC program in the U.S. after LA and San Francisco. Source: VolunteerCleanup.org.

Built for the Bay

Everwood USA is locally owned in Miami Beach. Our market focus is South Florida’s coastal communities — places where salt, humidity, and heavy use punish ordinary lumber.

We work with municipalities, universities, hotels, brands, and architects who want durable public furniture with a clear sustainability story.

Full Circle

Join Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay cleanups. We turn the plastic you collect into Everwood pieces — pendants and furniture — with a QR tag back to that cleanup. Then you can buy a piece made from the trash you picked up. Those pieces are coming soon — in the meantime, our shop has DIY kits and recycled-plastic lumber in stock.
