Remade – Brut

Discover the future of design with Brut, a groundbreaking innovation by Midton. Unveiling a new realm of possibilities, Brut is more than just a material – it’s an experience.

A New Standard in Aesthetics

Drawing inspiration from the timeless allure of cast glass, our state-of-the-art acrylic sheet material redefines the traditional aesthetic boundaries. Through a specialised casting process, Brut is characterised by its naturally textured surface, elevating it beyond the standard of ordinary acrylic sheets. The result is an exquisite finish that embodies subtle textures, eradicating the need for any supplementary milling or finishing. Brut’s one-of-a-kind surface texture is a testament to Midton’s commitment to artistry, offering an unparalleled choice for interior and lighting design enthusiasts.

Versatility Meets Practicality

Brut’s aesthetic grace is complemented by its extraordinary versatility and practicality. Serving as a prime alternative to cast glass, it illuminates interiors with a brilliance that only enhances its applications in lighting and design. Crafted to be lightweight yet robust, Brut transcends the limitations of traditional glass by minimising the risks of breakage. What’s more, its ability to be drilled, tapped, heated, and bent on-site streamlines installation, making it an efficient, hassle-free choice. From the conception of mesmerising light fixtures to the crafting of awe-inspiring interior spaces, Brut’s exceptional quality fosters creativity while ensuring reliability and safety.

Sustainability: A Core Philosophy

But the brilliance of Brut does not stop at aesthetics and functionality; it also reflects Midton’s unwavering commitment to sustainability. As part of our Remade series, Brut features up to 50% recycled content, paving the way for a more responsible and greener future. By integrating recycled materials, Brut stands as a tangible symbol of our dedication to reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices. Moreover, the elimination of unnecessary finishing processes further accentuates Brut’s eco-friendly credentials. The synthesis of artistry, innovation, and ecological mindfulness makes Brut not just a product but a philosophy, heralding a new era of design freedom and creative possibilities.

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.
