Plastic good for the environment? It may not be the first thing you think of. Yet you can definitely consider plastic sustainable, if you use it in the right way. The lifespan of plastic is longer than many alternative sheet materials, such as wood.
Disposable vs Quality
Kunststofplatenshop.nl values people and the environment. Green thinking and sustainable entrepreneurship are important to us. We are constantly working to minimise the impact on people and the environment and organise our business operations as green as possible. For instance, we cut all materials to size, which prevents a lot of waste because we make optimal use of the boards. As a result, people do not have to buy whole sheets if they only need a small piece. In short, nothing is wasted!
Plastic sheet material is a brilliant material suitable for sustainable applications, as long as you handle it responsibly.
“Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at our products. We’re always looking for ways to improve our processes and contribute to a circular economy.”
We would like to take you through what we are doing for the environment as well as our vision for the future when it comes to sustainability.
All the plastic materials we sell are aimed at sustainable applications. We advise our customers in the best possible way to achieve good and sustainable use.
We currently sell Greencast acrylic, or 100% recycled. It won’t stop there. Our future vision is a 100% recyclable offering.
Thanks to our computer-controlled saw, we cut very efficiently, minimising waste. We use residual waste for samples and educational purposes.
Our sawmill largely uses solar energy. For the remaining energy, we use green electricity. Our goal is eventually to be completely energy-neutral.
We package our sheet materials in recycled unprinted cardboard. We use plastic film as little as possible. We transport larger shipments to our customers in wooden frames.
We only run full trucks and collect products from our international suppliers combined.
