Paris-headquartered paper and packaging supplier Antalis has launched a material using post-industrial plastic waste.
The firm, which has sites throughout the UK, introduced Priplak R30, made from polypropylene and with 30 per cent recycled content.
The material can be used for signs, point-of-sale displays, packaging and other commercial uses.
Antlis, pat of the Japanese Kokusai Pulp & Paper Group, said polypropylene was “one of the most sustainable plastics available”.
The firm added that Priplak R30 delivered “exceptional performance” while “minimising environmental impact”. It is available in a white finish in 450 and 750 mic thicknesses, with a sheet size of 650 x 1100mm
Paul Neale, product manager at Antalis, said: “The versatility and sustainable benefits of products like Priplak made of polypropylene have resulted in it being one of the most rapidly growing sustainable polymers produced worldwide in recent years, with this trend set to continue.
“Introducing superior sustainable products such as the new Priplak R30 will increase its popularity.”
The material is fully recyclable and chemically inert, according to its manufacturer.
