What is Greencast® recycled acrylic?
Greencast® is a high-quality cast acrylic made entirely from recycled material, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to standard acrylic sheets.
Despite being recycled, it delivers 99% of the same properties as new acrylic, including:
- Excellent clarity
- High impact resistance
- UV and weather resistance
- Long-lasting durability
In simple terms, Greencast® equals sustainable acrylic without the compromise.
Available colours and thicknesses
We supply Greencast® recycled acrylic in a range of options:
- Colours: Clear, grey, brown, red, yellow, orange, blue and green
- Thicknesses: 3mm, 5mm and 8mm
All sheets are cut to size, so you can order exactly what you need.
Applications of recycled acrylic
Greencast® recycled acrylic is widely used for projects in which sustainability is critical, such as new construction and renovation projects. You can use this type of acrylic for the same applications as regular cast acrylic. Consider, for example, secondary glazing, display cases, protective covers, and store presentations. In addition, you can use it for home accessories such as a luxurious bowl, a lantern, a lamp or a tablet holder.
Good to know:
Greencast® acrylic is not much more expensive than standard acrylic. Thanks to the competitive price, this sustainable alternative is within reach for everyone.
Processing options
Just like regular cast acrylic, recycled acrylic is easy to process. You can mill, engrave, drill, bend (hot), glue, saw, matt, laser, print, and polish the sheets. Therefore, the processing options are the same as with non-recycled cast acrylic sheets.

Cleaning and maintaining acrylic requires a little more attention than cleaning traditional glass because acrylic sheets are more sensitive to scratches. See our blog with tips for cleaning acrylic.
