PMMA Plastic Recycling | Acrylic Recycling

Efficient 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 effective acrylic recycling facilities has prevented many organisations. With Plastic Expert, however, businesses across the UK can benefit from a high quality dedicated acrylic recycling service.

Is Acrylic Recyclable?

Your scrap acrylic sheets or other acrylic waste can be recycled into a range of products. During the recycling process, molten lead is added to the acrylic which separates methyl methacrylate from the catalyst. The acrylic resin this creates is created back into flat sheets or shapes. Recycled acrylic sheets can be used to create products for various industries, such as construction.

Importance Of PMMA Recycling

Acrylic plastic is widely used across a number of industries as an alternative to glass. As a result, there is a considerable amount of post-consumer acrylic in landfill and incineration facilities. Committed to diverting plastic waste from waste-to-energy plants and landfills, Plastic Expert offers cost-effective acrylic recycling services.

Acrylic isn’t biodegradable; therefore, it won’t naturally decompose over time and it can potentially cause significant harm to the environment. As acrylic is 100% recyclable, manufacturers and businesses can drastically reduce the negative impact of these materials. They can then greatly reduce their own carbon footprint and contribute to a circular economy.

Furthermore, the financial incentive for increased environmentally friendly activity makes recycling the obvious solution for your business waste. As this type of plastic acrylic is highly recyclable, using a professional waste management team ensures materials are managed efficiently.
