What you bring
Plastic waste access, CSR/marketing budget, brand guidelines, and preferred install locations in or near Miami / Biscayne Bay.
Brand CSR program
Turn plastic waste and CSR budgets into public good
Our main revenue model: partnerships with brands that have plastic waste — using marketing and CSR budgets to create branded benches and lasting site furniture.
How it works
A simple path from waste stream to waterfront bench.
1
Identify the waste stream
You have plastic packaging, operational scrap, or collected coastal/brand waste. We assess volume, resin types, and logistics together.
2
Align CSR & marketing goals
Define the story: Plastic to Public Good. Decide where furniture will live — campus, park, hotel, Bay-adjacent public space — and how branding appears.
3
Transform into Everwood products
Waste is processed into plastic lumber and fabricated into benches or other agreed products — durable, maintenance-light, outdoor-ready.
4
Install & amplify
Furniture is installed in public or semi-public space. Your brand gains a tangible CSR asset people can see and use — not only a footnote in a report.
5
Measure & renew
Track the metrics we agree on together, such as pounds of plastic diverted and pieces installed, and plan the next wave of product or sites.
Who this is for
- Consumer and hospitality brands with plastic packaging waste
- Retailers and CPG companies with CSR / sustainability targets
- Hotels and resorts seeking distinctive outdoor furniture with a story
- Institutions that want donor- or sponsor-branded campus seating
Our Chilean partner Desafío Ambiente also offers corporate advisory on eco-design and circular economy around waste (desafioambiente.com).
What we bring
Material transformation know-how, furniture design, outdoor durability, and a clear circular narrative.
What the public gets
Seating and site amenities that resist rot, moisture, and insects — funded by waste that might otherwise be discarded.
Public furniture with a brand story
Campus and civic installs put your CSR where people gather.
Tell the story on-site
QR plaques on furniture can link visitors to your waste-to-product narrative.
From our Chilean partner
Brand-waste-to-product examples from our manufacturing partner Desafío Ambiente / Everwood in Chile — not Everwood USA clients. They show how partner waste becomes lasting products.
Clínica Alemana → ornaments
1,146 kg of recycled HDPE and PP from medical supplies (gowns, shoe covers, and other inputs) transformed into Christmas ornaments. Reported eco-benefits in the project write-up include about 2,000 kg CO₂ and over 2 million litres of water saved. Source: desafioambiente.com portfolio.
Torres del Paine trail

Break Free From Plastic brand audits have ranked Coca-Cola the #1 top global plastic polluter for six consecutive years (2018–2023). Independent analysis of 2018–2022 audit data found The Coca-Cola Company accounted for about 11% and PepsiCo about 5% of branded litter counted. Those findings are a call to partnership — not a claim that any brand works with Everwood.

From audit lists to something communities can sit on
The world’s biggest brands have pledged to recover packaging and raise recycled content. We turn collected plastic into lumber and furniture their communities can use — a visible “collect and remake” proof point. No brand shown here is an Everwood partner or endorser.
- Coca-Cola (2035 goals): aim to use 35–40% recycled material in primary packaging (including increasing recycled plastic to 30–35% globally) and help ensure collection of 70–75% of the equivalent number of bottles and cans introduced annually. Source: Coca-Cola media center, Dec 2, 2024.
- PepsiCo: for primary plastic packaging in key markets, use 40% or greater recycled content by 2035 or sooner. Source: PepsiCo, May 22, 2025.

For cities
Florida law limits citywide bans on bags and foam — but cities can still set plastic rules on their own property and in their own contracts, which is where public furniture lives.
Until the Legislature adopts departmental recommendations, local governments “may not enact any rule, regulation, or ordinance regarding use, disposition, sale, prohibition, restriction, or tax of such auxiliary containers, wrappings, or disposable plastic bags.”
— Fla. Stat. §403.7033 · flsenate.gov
Polystyrene (foam) regulation is also largely preempted statewide, with an important carve-out: local governments may still restrict polystyrene use by individuals on public property, temporary vendors on public property, or entities in a contractual relationship with the local government (Fla. Stat. §500.90).
Miami Beach
City ordinances ban expanded polystyrene and plastic straws/stirrers citywide, with further rules for beachfront concessionaires, balloons at marine facilities, and consumable plastic décor on public property. Plastic-bag rules for the right-of-way/sidewalk cafés are enforced through agreements rather than a code ban. Source: Miami Beach Rising Above — Regulations.
City of Miami (2026)
The City Commission approved a procurement policy to eliminate single-use plastics, including Styrofoam, in future City contracts with concessionaires on City property — explicitly not a citywide private-business ban, “in compliance with State law.” Source: miami.gov news, March 12, 2026.
Key Biscayne
Effective June 1, 2025, the Village prohibits single-use plastic products in all Village facilities and applies the policy to Village-sponsored events and affiliated vendors — part of “Plastic Free KB.” Source: keybiscayne.fl.gov.
What this means for cities: they can’t always ban bags or foam citywide, but they can control their own beaches, parks, events, and contracts — exactly where Everwood benches and site furniture go.
