PLEXIGLAS®
THE CONTRIBUTOR
 
PLEXIGLAS® is present in the daily lives of people around the globe—at home, at work, in healthcare or mobility. Whether or not people realize it, PLEXIGLAS® is never far away and because of this, we have the rare opportunity to make a positive impact in people’s lives.

We can contribute to helping our planet thrive and ensuring a safe and healthy environment for people to live in with acrylic sheet that is supported by sustainable solutions.

For Roehm Africa, this means minimizing the environmental footprint of our products and maximizing their potential for positive impact through continuous innovation and driving recycling initiatives in our key industries.


PLEXIGLAS® HELPS SHAPE A
MORE SUSTAINABLE AND
RESOURCE-EFFICIENT FUTURE

PLEXIGLAS® helps reduce waste with its high durability and long service life.

PLEXIGLAS® is not hazardous or classified as special waste and can therefore be recycled without any problems.

PLEXIGLAS® can be broken down into its original components to create new PLEXIGLAS® products.

THE CHALLENGE
WE FACE

The onset of the global Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in PLEXIGLAS® becoming an even greater fixture in our lives.

PLEXIGLAS® safety screens in retail outlets, public spaces and offices are everywhere and will remain a common feature for the foreseeable future.

But what will happen when these screens are no longer required? Could we potentially have a huge challenge with unnecessary, large volumes of acrylic waste on our hands?

And just what would that do to our efforts ofdriving sustainable solutions if we don’t address recycling with just as much urgency.

We invite our distribution partners and also PLEXIGLAS® consumers to join our recycling programme and make a positive change in the environment.
