A new life for every resource

In Argentina, kp collaborated with several customers and a local laboratory to develop new vinyl formulations that contain a significant percentage of recyclable material from our internal industrial processes.

The project consists of grinding any leftover material from our manufacturing processes into flakes or pellets and recycling them back into the manufacturing of new material.

The team focused on making the material suitable to reintroduce into the production cycle. The results have been exceptional – dramatically cutting waste and raw materials, while retaining the same transparency and brightness and keeping the same thermoforming properties of the usual vinyl. This initiative also helped cut resource costs too, proving sustainability makes good business sense!
