A new Amari Sustainable range has been introduced that comprises eight media made of at least 25% sustainable content, that are 100% recyclable, and that are produced in Europe in order to mitigate CO2 emissions.
There are five new products in the range alongside the existing Green Cast, Dispa and Smart-X offerings.
The products available within the Amari Sustainable range are:
- Altuglas R-Life Ex - an extruded acrylic sheet that features 75% recycled content, has a high-gloss finish and is weather resistant.
- Exolon Eco - a solid polycarbonate sheet that features up to 40% recycled content and has been specifically designed for security, safety and vandal-proof applications.
- VivakEco - a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) sheet manufactured with a minimum of 40% regrind from its own production. Fabricated from a lightweight material with extreme break resistance, it ensures low energy consumption and high durability.
- Foamalux Xtra - a lightweight foam PVC sheet made of up to 80% reclaimed post-production waste content.
- AkyPrint - a polypropylene bubble board made of at least 25% recycled material, for single and two-sided printing and suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications.
- GreenCast - a cast acrylic sheet made with 100% recycled materials and that looks, performs and fabricates like virgin acrylic - even after recycling.
- Dispa – a recyclable durable paper board that provides optimal flatness and dimensional stability.
- Smart-X - a recyclable lightweight polyester/HIPS foam board suitable for demanding visual communications applications.
“We wanted to offer something different for our customers and create a range that is truly sustainable,” Andy Wighton, MD at Amari Plastics. “We researched what sustainable means in real world applications and developed the range to ensure all products would deliver on core environmental goals.
“We set out strict criteria on the percentage of sustainable content in the manufacturing process, the percentage of materials that are recycled, and the manufacturer’s commitment to CO2 reduction.
“Finally, the solutions had to be a viable affordable alternative to traditional materials.”
The range is available to order for next day delivery from Amari Plastics centres, Vink Scotland and Europoint Manchester. A sample box containing each product in its available colours and thicknesses is available on request and product data sheets can be found on the company website.
