Perspex Distribution has added to its range of recycled substrates with the launch of the Palight Re-Nu, a 100% recycled PVC foam.
Palight Re-Nu is manufactured by Palram in its Durham manufacturing plant and has been developed to use recycled waste from its end users and its own production line.
Palight, available in thicknesses of 3, 5 and 10mm, is produced as a co-extruded PVC providing a white surface for high image quality and colour accuracy. The 100% recycled content contains a mixture of post-consumer waste recycled from end-users, as well as pre-consumer waste processed via Palram’s own in-house recycling centre.
According to the company, the lightweight foamed substrate is ideal for projects including retail PoS, exhibition stands and general signage.
Marketing manager Luke Martyn said, ‘We have been working with Palram to develop Palight Re-Nu and introducing a 100% recycled option for our PVC foam customers. We tested the product at Sign and Digital UK this year and visitors were really excited to share this product with their own customers and delighted with the quality of the print tests taking place at the show.’
Tom Rose, Palram UK & Ireland sales manager added, ‘We grind up and reuse production scraps reducing production waste to under 1%. Cuttings and scrap are also collected from our customers, end users and external suppliers throughout Europe to create enough raw material to feed new products such as Palight Re-Nu.’
Over 80% of products available from Perspex Distribution are made in the UK including Palight PVC Foam and Palsun Polycarbonate manufactured by Palram.
