"Holstebro-based plastics converter Færch Plast has become one of the first in the world to produce packaging for the food industry which utilizes plastic from recycled carbonated soft drink bottles. The recycled material is the widely used thermoplastic PET*, and the big advantage of its reuse is that it significantly reduces CO2 emissions associated with the manufacture of the new plastic item. The recycled plastic bottles are rinsed and pulverised before being melted in the extruder. Færch Plast estimates that if the recycled PET (called "RPET") accounts for half the material in a new product, the associated CO2 emission is reduced by 40%." http://kataloggb.faerchplast.dk/

recycled plastics (RPET)
I'm looking into recycled acrylic materials for my installation for Impact 09. So instead of using more long chain polymers derived from oil as in previous projects - I would like to test recycled materials for the constructed screen shapes. This company looks promising:
