Recycled content

We are already recovering and reusing our own production waste to create new material in the manufacture of our SINTREX™ sheets. We aim to continue increasing the proportion of recycled content in the future.

CO₂ Footprint

SINTREX™ sheets offer advantages in terms of weight and, at the same time, a high degree of stability due to their unique foamed structure. In addition, as fewer resources are required for production, the amount of CO₂ bound in the material is reduced.

Product life cycle

Our SINTREX™ sheets are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a very durable thermoplastic, which means these very lightweight boards are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Some of the popular applications are for printing substrates, signage, displays and in trade show constructions.

Recyclability

Our SINTREX™ is a mono-material PET sheet, which is characterised by its good recyclability. We are committed to processing our production waste within the company and using it again to manufacture new products.

PET is one of the most recyclable plastics; it can be repeatedly recycled without altering its basic material properties. By supporting recycling schemes and developing new technologies to recycle PET, this polymer can become one of the most sustainable resources in the plastics industry. A large proportion of PET, both virgin material and rPET, is used to manufacture packaging for foodstuffs, such as trays, containers and films, as well as to create polyester fibres for clothing and textiles. The plastic is inert and does not release any harmful substances into food or beverages.

Unfoiled waste from SINTREX™ sheets can be used in structural foams for e.g. wind turbines or in yacht construction or in the packaging industry.
