By combining post-consumer inorganic manufacturing scrap,
reclaimed polyester fiber from carpet, wood flour from post-consumer wood fiber
scrap, and both virgin and reclaimed polypropylene, a gap-hider panel with 25%
recycled content is produced.
Additionally, the zero-waste vacuum forming blow molding manufacturing
process returns all scrap and offal to the raw materials supplier to be
re-recycled into raw material stock again. The resulting panel is thinner than
alternatives, saves 5% weight and 10% costs vs. virgin material while reducing
the waste stream and lowering the carbon footprint.
