Acrylic is very durable, hard, has excellent clarity and is highly UV resistant.
It has seen a significant increase in its use over the past decade and is often seen as a less brittle, more flexible alternative to glass.
In recent years, we've begun to see a growing interest from consumers and businesses in recycled products, driving demand and forcing manufacturers to be more proactive in offering recycled materials.
As usage increases, it's important for the industry to work to ensure materials can be recycled and have minimal impact on the environment.
Acrylic is classified as a Group 7 plastic, which includes recyclable, non-recyclable and biodegradable plastics.
Group 7 plastics are not always recycled because the process is costly and requires specialized machinery, but they can be.
Plexiglass (acrylic) is a thermoplastic, which means it retains its properties when heated and cooled.
1. To recycle acrylic acid, it must go through a depolymerization process.
Depolymerization describes the process or act of breaking down a polymer into its monomeric components, as opposed to polymerization, which is a previously described process used to make acrylic acid.
2. Acrylic acid is heated and goes through the pyrolysis process.
This process describes the process by which solids undergo thermal degradation into smaller, small volatile molecules.
At this stage, molten lead is added to the acrylic acid, which separates the methyl methacrylate from the catalyst and produces molten MMA with a purity of about 98%.

Once this is achieved, the acrylic can be cast or extruded into flat sheets or shapes, enabling a more circular economy.
By taking these steps, we can reduce our environmental impact and ensure that acrylic continues to be a valuable material for generations to come.
