Recycled plastic products for construction are usually made from post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste from one of three main plastic materials:

- Polyethylene; sourced from plastic bottles, bags and wrapping film.
- Polystyrene; from sources such as CD cases, vending cups and food packaging.
- PVC; from windows and industrial products.
Some products are made from 100% recycled plastic, and others, known as 'wood polymer composites', use a blend of recycled plastic and wood byproducts.

Recycled plastic materials are readily formed into an almost infinite variety of shapes, sizes and colours.
