REMADE
BIJOU

In the heart of Midton’s prestigious foundry, Remade comes to life—a recycled acrylic masterpiece with a touch of jewel like enchantment. This isn’t just an alternative; it’s an opulent nod to eco-conscious luxury. Join the movement with Remade.

Remade – Bijou

Remade – Bijou is an exclusive and visually striking material, crafted with meticulous care. Carefully hand-crafted from 20-25mm recycled acrylic granulate and artfully tumbled with pigment, the result is a material that captivates the eye and embodies elegance.

During casting, the hand-coated shards are recast into sheets and custom moulds. Once they come together in a solid acrylic form, an almost holographic appearance creates a stunning jewel-esque internal texture. 

Translating as “gem” in French, Bijou lives up to its moniker with a diverse range of colour blends, each interacting with light in unique ways. With a circular manufacturing process, Bijou makes a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for designers. 

Best suited to thicknesses of 20-40mm, this material is at its best in chunky 20-25mm chip form.

Applications

Bijou’s versatility makes a perfect choice for a wide range of applications. In interior spaces, Bijou finds its place as decorative panels and dividers – adding a chic and modern touch. The material also makes striking, luxury, point-of-sale displays in retail environments, captivating your customers’ attention and elevating brand presentation. 

The transparency of Bijou allows light to dance through, creating a sense of depth that enhances its visual impact where it is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions about Recycled Acrylic

What is recycled acrylic, and how is it different from traditional acrylic?

Recycled acrylic is a sustainable variant of acrylic that is made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste acrylic. It undergoes a careful process of cleaning, sorting, and transforming the waste into usable granulate. Unlike traditional acrylic, which is made from raw materials, recycled acrylic helps reduce waste and conserves resources, making it an eco-friendly choice.

How are products manufactured using recycled acrylic?

The manufacturing process starts by collecting and processing waste acrylic. The sorted waste is then cleaned, shredded, and transformed into granulate. This recycled acrylic granulate is carefully mixed with a tinted, opaque binder of pure PMMA to create a unique blend of color and depth. The resulting material is then moulded or fabricated into various products, such as sheets, panels, or even intricate designs, using cutting-edge techniques and machinery.

What are the environmental benefits of using recycled acrylic?

Using recycled acrylic contributes to significant environmental benefits. By diverting waste acrylic from landfills and repurposing it, we reduce the strain on natural resources and decrease energy consumption. Recycling acrylic also helps mitigate carbon emissions associated with the production of new acrylic. By choosing products made with recycled acrylic, you actively participate in promoting a circular economy and reducing the ecological footprint.

Can recycled acrylic be recycled again at the end of its lifecycle?

Certainly! Recycled acrylic has the remarkable advantage of being fully recyclable at the end of its useful life. Once the product made with recycled acrylic reaches the end of its lifecycle, it can be collected, processed, and transformed into granulate once again. This closed-loop recycling process ensures that recycled acrylic can be reused repeatedly, minimising waste and promoting sustainability throughout its lifecycle.

How does the use of recycled acrylic contribute to a circular economy?

The use of recycled acrylic promotes a circular economy by closing the loop on the material’s lifecycle. Instead of discarding waste acrylic, it is collected, processed, and transformed into new products. This reduces the demand for raw materials and minimises waste, fostering a more sustainable and efficient system where resources are continually reused and recycled.
