Post-industrial plastic

Post-industrial plastic is waste material that is produced during manufacturing processes, for example in the automotive industry. It has not previously been utilised by consumers and is purchased as a single type of plastic. Post-industrial plastics have excellent flow properties, enable the production of complex shapes and glossy surfaces and are also food-safe.
