An environmentally sound plastic. Polypropylene offers many
advantages due to its composition. It is a polyolefin, and doesn’t contain
any halogens or chlorine. It is also free from any plastifiers, such as
phtalates, which are often used in the production of PVC. After finishing
with a product made from Priplak, the material can be recycled, or burnt
or added to landfill, without any risk of toxic substances harming the
environment or people’s health.
A recyclable product and a recycled range. During its lifecycle, one of
the key features of polypropylene is its ability to be recycled many times
without any significant change in its physical properties. Priplak has
also embarked on an ambitious scheme to collect some of the waste
from larger customers. Together with its physical characteristics this
has enabled Priplak to develop a certified range of 100% recycled
polypropylene
