Amari Plastics has launched a new sustainable collection of media products designed to meet the rising customer demand for environmentally friendly materials.

The Amari Sustainable range now includes five new products that include at least 25% sustainable content at the manufacturing stage, are genuinely recyclable, and are produced in Europe in order to mitigate CO2 emissions.

“We wanted to offer something different for our customers and create a range that is truly sustainable,” said Andy Wighton, managing director 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 new products include Altuglas R-Life EX, an extruded acrylic sheet that features 75% recycled content and is suitable for use in glazing, signage, furniture, and retail display, and 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.

Also; Vivak Eco, a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) sheet manufactured with a minimum of 40% regrind from its own production, Foamalux Xtra, a lightweight and easy-to-handle foam PVC sheet, created with up to 80% reclaimed post-production waste content, and AkyPrint, a polypropylene bubble board made using at least 25% recycled material.

They join existing products Green Cast, Dispa, and Smart-X in the Amari Sustainable range.

All products in the range are in stock now and available for next-day delivery from all Amari Plastics centres, Vink Scotland, and Europoint Manchester.

Customers interested in the range can request a sustainable sample box containing each product in its available colours and thicknesses.
