What is ecosheet made from?
The first trials of eco-sheet have used over 75% recycled materials by weight. The major recyled constituent being waste electrical and electronic equipment material (WEEE). This WEEE material has been taken in its 'discarded' form and pre-treated to pulverise the materials to a suitable particle size and then mixed with the other ingredients.
It is anticipated that more than 80% recycled materials will be able to be used for eco-sheet depending on the grade required and intended use (in a similar way as the various grades of plywood that are available).
At the end if its useful life as eco-sheet 100% of the eco-sheet can be recycled though the PIM process again and again. Thus minimising landfill and maximising recycling for the benefit of the environment and maximising the return on investment in the product.
These advantages are thought to provide a unique proposition in recycling of plastic waste and WEEE material.
