At Tamstar we pride ourselves on putting ethical and ethological principles at the heart of our business. Sustainable living has never been more important and our recycled plastic products are designed to be easily incorporated into both personal and commercial environments.
Therefore, as we enter the New Year, we’re excited to support manufacturing and continue supply of our products that are both made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable.
Future Trends in Recycled Plastics
One of the biggest trends in the future of recycled plastics is the use of this material in the manufacturing of consumer goods. From clothing and home goods to electronics and automobiles, manufacturers are increasingly turning to recycled plastics as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials.
This not only reduces the amount of plastic waste in the environment, but it also helps to lower the carbon footprint of the products being produced.
What is the history of Recycled Plastic?
Recycled plastics have come a long way in recent years, and the future of this material looks bright. With advancements in technology and an increasing awareness of the importance of sustainability, recycled plastics are becoming an increasingly popular choice for a wide range of applications.
As new developments in sustainable living continue to evolve, we’re keeping our eyes on new ways to continue promoting greener living in all aspects of our lives.
In the past, plastic that has been recycled has a one in five chance of being turned into something new. If for example, a plastic bottle has been recycled into a new bottle, chances are it won’t be recycled a third time due to the plastic properties becoming damaged along the way.
What’s new to the recycling process?
In addition, the use of recycled plastic in the production of new plastic products is also on the rise. This is known as closed-loop recycling, and it involves using recycled plastic to produce new plastic products without losing any of the properties of the original material.
This process not only reduces the amount of plastic waste in the environment, but it also helps to conserve natural resources, as it takes less energy to recycle plastic than it does to produce it from raw materials.
Recently in 2022 scientists have revolutionised the idea of limited recycling by using a chemical method that enables the breakdown of polymers in the plastic and in turn forms a new type of material that can be used, broken apart and rebuilt over again.
Improvements to recycling methods
While the initial study focused on a particular type of plastic, researchers believe that the application can be used on a wide range of materials.
This discovery has the potential to significantly change the way we process plastic materials. Instead of damaging the plastic each time it is recycled, this application could ensure that plastic has infinite uses, which is a great step towards a greener future.
Another trend in the future of recycled plastics is the use of this material in the construction industry. Recycled plastics are being used to create a wide range of building products, such as decking, fencing, and roofing tiles.
These products are not only environmentally friendly, but they are also durable and long-lasting, making them a cost-effective choice for builders and contractors.
Why do we need to use Recycled Plastic?
At Tamstar, we’re committed to using 100% recycled plastic profile, keeping plastic out of landfill by creating recycled plastic wood products.
The raw materials used for our products are sourced from UK door drop collections, turning what was useless plastic rubbish into high-quality products that can be recycled again once you have finished using them.
Reusing plastic keeps it out of landfill
Reusing plastic keeps it out of landfill, as well as helping reduce the impact on global warming. Plastic waste can take many years to degrade, causing significant environmental damage in the process.
Thus, by choosing us for your home and garden products, you can take the first step in reducing your own carbon footprint, while also enjoying products that are superior in quality and design to traditional wood alternatives.
From recycled plastic benches to ground reinforcement grids for landscaping we have you covered when it comes to eco-friendly, high-quality recycled plastic furniture products.
