Sustainable Plastic Materials

In addition to ABS, PC, ASA, PE, and polypropylene plastics, we are proud to offer eco-friendly materials. With your budget and goals for sustainability in mind, we can help you evaluate your options. For example, we can work with you on a regrind usage plan to ensure maximum utilization or evaluate the use of bio-degradable materials for your project. Since these materials are typically more expensive than traditional materials, we like to tell our customers to think of them like buying organic produce.

With this collaborative design process, our customers get the designs and finishes they want at the price point and timeline they need.
