SMART-X®
SMART-X® FIVE-DOT-MISSION
SMART-X®, the distinctive lightweight foamboard for demanding visual communication applications, has been assessed in line with our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. SMART-X® currently achieves a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 7 points.
Recycled content
In the manufacture of SMART-X® foamboards, we are already using a proportion of recycled polystyrene material. The production processes have been optimised to ensure waste from the production is recovered at the site itself, processed externally before being fed back into the production process.
CO2 Footprint
SMART-X® foamboards combine low weight with a high degree of stability due to their unique structure, consisting of an expanded polystyrene core and impact-resistant polystyrene cover sheets. The expanded foam core enables a lightweight construction with reduced material use compared with an equivalent solid-core board. These material and construction characteristics contribute to the product’s carbon footprint.
Product life cycle
SMART-X® foamboards are extremely light and ideal for both indoor and outdoor purposes. Popular applications include free-standing POS/POP displays or as a printing substrate for all signage types and formats (even up to 2 m wide). In outdoor applications over a period of up to two years, the material’s special properties ensure there are no adverse effects on product performance.
Recyclability
The SMART-X® range is made entirely from polystyrene, resulting in a mono-material construction. Production waste generated during the manufacture of SMART-X® is collected and processed for reuse in the production process.
