PMMA Plastic Recycling
Acrylic requires specialist handling and equipment. At Plastic Expert, we are proud to be one of the few specialist centres in the UK offering acrylic recycling.
Designated as a Group 7 plastic, many recycling companies do not have the facilities to recycle acrylics such as PMMA sheets or panels. Due to this, acrylic waste is not being recycled as much as other plastic materials.
While companies and manufacturers may be keen to recycle acrylic PMMA scrap and waste, the limited availability of acrylic recycling facilities has prevented organisations. With our collection and recycling service, businesses across the UK can recycle acrylic easily.
Is Acrylic Recyclable?
Yes! Acrylic waste such as scrap acrylic sheets can be recycled into a range of products. During the recycling process, molten lead is added which separates methyl methacrylate from the catalyst.
The acrylic resin this creates is created back into flat sheets or shapes. High quality recycled acrylic sheets can be used to create products for various industries.
