As a common component we use in many of our signage and lighting products, acrylic is one material that we are eager to divert from landfill or the incinerator, where it has a detrimental affect on the environment. Although as a company we have always recycled our acrylic offcuts, the carbon footprint involved in the manufacture of acrylic is something we wanted to improve upon. By offering our customers the option to use a more environmentally friendly alternative, that is made from both recycled and recyclable acrylic, it closes the loop to greatly reduce the energy, water and CO2 normally created in virgin acrylic production. What’s more, at the end of its life, this acrylic can be recycled back into its raw form to be used again and again, greatly improving the products carbon footprint and contributing to a circular economy. This eco-friendly alternative still retains its premium quality, performs and lasts the same as standard virgin acrylic and is available in a variety of colours and thicknesses, meaning it is suitable for use in many of our signage products.
Our team of innovators and designers can value engineer our products to offer more environmentally friendly alternative components, that are bespoke to your requirements.
