PERSPEX®re is an acrylic sheet material which is made using 100% recycled methyl methacrylate (rMMA), obtained from PMMA scraps and waste. The rMMA is gained from depolymerisation of acrylic sheets and liquid waste coming from our own production by using a cracking and distillation process which recovers MMA.
A thermal treatment allows polymer chain scission into monomer molecules. In a later step, a high accurate distillation process separates MMA molecules, achieving a high purity standard. The recycled material can be reused (over and over again), which not only saves raw materials, but also prevents waste. Moreover, the described process takes place in Europe, close to our production plants which additionally minimizes the carbon footprint due to the short transport ways.
This process is aligned With Circular Economy fundamentals obtaining raw material from waste products,
With using PERSPEX®RE you can help to close the loop!
