Brett Martin sustainable plastic sheets on display at K 2022

Brett Martin will be exhibiting its range of plastic sheet solutions at K 2022 (19 – 26 October)  at Messe Düsseldorf, highlighting the company’s dedication to sustainable plastic solutions.

Brett Martin’s recently launched Marlon BioPlus will be a product highlight on display, demonstrating a significant step toward a carbon-neutral polycarbonate (PC) sheet. This innovative PC sheet offers dramatically reduced environmental impact by switching from fossil-based resins to resins certified as 71% bio-circular through a mass balancing manufacturing process.

Additionally, the company’s long-standing Eco range of products – including Foamalux Eco, Foamalux Xtra, Marpet-g FS Eco, and Marcryl FS Eco – will be on display. The range reduces waste in landfill by reusing Brett Martin’s production waste in the manufacturing process.

Manufactured from up to 80% reclaimed content recovered from production and post-consumer signage waste, Foamalux Xtra is Brett Martin’s answer to green substrate alternatives. It comprises a reclaimed black core sandwiched between one or two surfaces of premium quality, virgin white PVC, providing the optimum surface for signage and display printing.

Foamalux Eco is a lightweight, easy-to-handle, cut and bond PVC foam product has up to 80% reclaimed post-production waste content, reducing landfill and making it a greener choice of foam PVC. Its versatility offers designers unlimited application possibilities in creating interiors, shop outfitting, signage, contemporary displays, product design and fabrication.

Marcryl FS Eco is Brett Martin’s flat extruded acrylic sheet made with at least 50% regrind. Perfect for DIY applications, this product reduces the amount of acrylic that goes to landfill. The regrind is produced on-site under closely monitored conditions to ensure consistent quality.

Marpet-g FS Eco, which also contains at least 50% reclaimed material, is a clear copolyester PET sheet that can be thermoformed without pre-drying, allowing it to be formed at relatively low temperatures. It can be formed into complex shapes, which makes it ideal for use in sign, display and in-store fixtures, as well as illuminated advertising and Point of Sale. Its durability and impact resistance makes it suitable for glazing applications such as machine guards, vending machines, partitions, and shower surrounds.

All Brett Martin products showcased at K are suitable for medium to long-term use and can be recycled at the end of life through mechanical, chemical or energy recovery methods.

“We are delighted to be attending the K-Fair 2022. Sustainability is a growing societal goal across the plastics industry.
