The future of EV chargers is set to become even greener, thanks to the first completely recyclable electrical housing cabinet.

British manufacturer Ritherdon is already creating a buzz within the EV industry, thanks to their new PVC Cabinet – a fully recyclable electrical enclosure designed with sustainability in mind.

The Ritherdon PVC Cabinet range, which is being shown at CENEX 2025, offers a new cost-effective solution for housing electrical equipment across a wide variety of applications, including EV chargers.

Innovative and durable, these PVC Cabinets are different from any other plastic electrical enclosure currently on the market, because they can be recycled, unlike the standard GRP enclosures, which end up in landfill.

Managing Director Ben Ritherdon said: “Our new PVC Cabinets came about because we wanted to develop an alternative non-conductive product, which combines the electrically insulating properties of fibreglass cabinets, but with the added bonus of being recyclable.

“They combine the strength of our traditional stainless steel cases with the usability and practicality of plastic – all while being totally recyclable.

“The cabinet’s adaptability ensures that it meets the diverse needs of different industries, providing a secure and organised housing solution for electrical equipment, which, we believe, have a service life of around ten to twenty years.

“We want to provide customers with a product that is long-lasting, but also not damaging to the environment.”

Ritherdon’s innovative cabinets, which are manufactured at their factory in Darwen, Lancs., are crafted from high-quality PVC over a metal frame, ensuring years of resistance to corrosion and environmental wear.

Each PVC Cabinet is also designed with enhanced security features, including a robust locking mechanism, and each unit can comfortably and safely be moved while housing up to half a tonne of equipment.

The PVC Cabinets can be shipped to clients flat-packed, making them ideal for temporary housing solutions and exporting, and Ritherdon is already receiving keen interest in their customisable cabinets internationally, including from France, Australia and Iceland.

Designed with versatility in mind, applications for the PVC Cabinet are endless, from geothermal power stations to electric vehicle charging banks, telecoms equipment and temporary building supplies.

Each unit can comfortably and safely be moved while housing up to half a tonne of equipment.

Ben added: “The introduction of the PVC Cabinet underscores Ritherdon’s dedication to providing innovative and reliable solutions for electrical enclosure needs, while looking toward the future.

“The combination of durability, versatility, and security makes it a valuable addition to our product line, as it caters to a broad spectrum of applications and we know it will be setting new standards in the industry.”
