r-PMMA

Recycled acrylic –

r-PMMA

Material recovery technologies of plastics are developed and as a result r-PMMA material has formed. Material has manufactured with 100% recycled PMMA material. Due to this, r-PMMA is recycled acrylic material and it can be used to manufacture clear acrylic sheets, pipes and bars. Material is also available as coloured. The most important property is that PMMA material can recycled countless times without losing its special properties such as lightness, class clearness or suitability for machining. We deliver r-PMMA, recycled acrylic material, as plastic sheets, pipes and bars.
