Recycled Acrylic Available

LPM offers products made from Recrylic – the only Certified (RSS and GSC) 100% post-consumer waste recycled acrylic in the market. It helps meet and exceed organizational sustainability goals.
All LPM orders that use Recrylic will receive a Carbon Savings Estimate to show how much CO2 you have saved from being released by using recycled acrylic in place of traditional acrylic.
Recrylic is local for us. We are located 10 miles from their manufacturing facility, which further cuts down on shipping distance and total embodied carbon.
As a closed-loop recycling process, our recycled acrylic is both recycled and recyclable – over and over again.
Our acrylic scrap is sent to Recrylic to be made into more Recrylic sheets.
