Recycled Perspex offers the same clarity, strength and versatility as standard acrylic — but with a significantly lower environmental impact. For architects, designers and fitout specialists focused on commercial interiors, recycled Perspex is an ideal material for balancing sustainability with performance and design freedom.
Whether you’re working on a branded retail space, a workplace upgrade, or an education facility, this high-performance acrylic product helps deliver durable, eco-conscious outcomes — without compromise.
What Is Recycled Perspex and How Is It Manufactured?
Recycled Perspex is made from post-industrial or post-consumer acrylic waste that’s recovered, cleaned, and reprocessed into new sheet material. Through modern manufacturing methods, the material retains its optical clarity, rigidity, and workability, matching the quality of standard Perspex sheets.
Instead of heading to landfill, offcuts, discarded signage, and display panels are given new life — turning waste into valuable, usable materials. This process aligns with circular design principles and helps businesses reduce their overall environmental footprint.

Does Recycled Perspex Perform as Well as Virgin Acrylic?
Yes — recycled Perspex performs to the same high standards expected by trades and specifiers. It is:
- UV-stable for interior and protected exterior applications
- Scratch-resistant and strong, suitable for high-traffic commercial areas
- Lightweight and safe, especially in overhead or partitioned environments
- Available in a range of finishes, including gloss, matte, and frosted textures
Whether used for displays, wall cladding or signage, recycled Perspex maintains its appearance and integrity over time. It also cuts cleanly and works seamlessly with acrylic fabrication processes.
Where Can Recycled Perspex Be Used in Commercial Interiors?
Recycled Perspex is a versatile sheet material that lends itself to many commercial fitout applications. Thanks to its formability and colour availability, it’s commonly used in:
- Retail environments: wall panels, display units, signage
- Offices and co-working spaces: partitions, splashbacks, wayfinding
- Hospitality interiors: menu boards, branded panels, feature ceilings
- Educational and institutional buildings: safe, durable interior surfaces
Recycled Perspex panels offer both aesthetics and function, helping elevate interiors while meeting the practical requirements of modern commercial spaces.
