Eco-Friendly Products from GRAPHICS PRO

During the COVID-19 battle that every company is facing these days, one of the first casualties at the workplace is the efforts to reduce waste. The constant cycle of cleaning and the reliance on single-use items put a strain on conservation efforts around the globe. According to Business Insider, the global plastic packaging market size is projected to grow from $909.2 billion in 2019 to $1012.6 billion by this year, at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5%, mainly due to pandemic response.

But as always, it’s important to keep in mind the health of our environment, despite the economic and regulatory strain that we’re all under. Here are some examples from GRAPHICS PRO’s April special section featuring environmentally friendly products to help companies combat the increase in harmful waste in the workplace.

PVC recycling program

Vycom offers Celtec expanded PVC sheets, which can be reclaimed through Vycom’s Recycling Take-Back Program that captures and recycles printed and unprinted PVC sheets and scraps and drops from finishing and fabricating. The program is designed for users of PVC, acrylic, PE, and PP products to recycle used signage and scrap.
