Perspex Distribution has increased its growing range of recycled substrates with the launch of the Palight® Re-NU, a 100% recycled PVC Foam in a first for the UK print market.
Palight® Re-NU is manufactured by Palram in their County Durham manufacturing plant and has been developed to utilise recycled waste from their end users and production line.
Palight® Re-NU is produced as a co-extruded PVC providing a constantly reliable white surface allowing print professionals to get the best image quality and colour accuracy from their printers. 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.
The lightweight foamed substrate is widely used in projects including retail POS, exhibition stands and general retail signage with this 100% recycled solution ideal for those seeking a greener solution for customers.
Palight® Re-NU is available in thicknesses of 3mm, 5mm & 10mm in a sheet size 3m x 2m.
PDL Marketing Manager Luke Martyn commented, “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 & 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. This new range demonstrates the strength of Palram’s UK manufacturing R&D being the first to offer a 100% recycled PVC Foam solution. ”
Tom Rose, Palram UK & Ireland Sales Manager comments “Developing a wider range of recycled substrates is a key target for Palram.” Says Tom Rose, Palram UK & Ireland Sales Manager. “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. Our in-house recycling plants and product development teams are a key provider in helping Palram deliver new and sustainable products to the market. “
Over 80% of products available from Perspex Distribution are made in the UK including Palight® PVC Foam and Palsun® Polycarbonate manufactured by Palram.
