Sustainable Acrylic Awards
Midton designs and manufactures sustainable acrylic awards using Remade, our own recycled acrylic material. Every piece is cast at our Scottish foundry, pairing eco-friendly materials with premium design.
Sustainable Awards: Innovative & Modern Manufacturing
At Midton, we use environmentally friendly materials to create our awards, reducing the impact on natural resources without compromising quality. As global leaders in cast acrylic, our Remade recycled acrylic range is developed from reclaimed offcuts.
We believe that every business has a responsibility to protect the planet by reducing its environmental impact. Our sustainably created awards reflect this.
Customisable & Creative Designs
Our awards are made from recycled acrylic, cast to order at our Scottish foundry. We work closely and transparently with our clients to craft custom awards that reflect their brand and message, including full colour print, engraving and acrylic embedment. Our custom finishes create different types of textures and effects, with consistent quality and durability that hold up with minimal maintenance over time.
Sustainable Trophies Built With Recycled Acrylic
Recycled acrylic is a versatile and eco-friendly material that can be used to create stunning and unique sustainable trophies and awards. By using recycled acrylic, we can reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes.
At the same time, these materials offer incredible design possibilities. Recycled acrylic can be moulded and shaped into intricate designs, and comes in a wide variety of colours, finishes and textures, giving your business the flexibility to create pieces that represent its brand identity.
Remade is available across several ranges, each suited to a different style of award:
- Original: Clarity, with a traditional cast acrylic finish
- Brut: Bold texture
- Bijou: Playful, refined detailing
- Kelp: Organic, earthy tones
- Rarity: Reclaimed, distinctive character
- Kin: Harmonious, blended tones

How Recycled Acrylic Supports a More Sustainable World
Recycled acrylic reduces environmental impact by turning waste into a usable resource rather than relying on virgin sources. Waste acrylic is collected, cleaned, sorted and transformed into granules, which are then combined with an acrylic binder and cast into new pieces. This process uses fewer resources and less energy than producing acrylic from scratch.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals highlight how food waste, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, extreme poverty and other issues are connected to natural resource use. Responsible production and consumption sit at the heart of that framework, supporting economic development without placing undue strain on the planet. At Midton, we ease demand for first-use materials with every Remade piece we cast.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sustainable Awards
How does choosing a sustainable award help address climate change?
Choosing a sustainable award helps reduce demand for raw plastic resources and the energy required to process them. Recycled acrylic diverts waste from landfill and lowers the carbon impact of manufacturing, supporting a more positive impact on the environment.
How does Remade acrylic compare in durability to standard acrylic trophies?
Remade is engineered to match the strength and longevity of virgin cast acrylic, so choosing a sustainable option doesn’t mean compromising on quality. It’s a genuinely durable material, built to withstand everyday handling and display just as well as any traditional award.
Does using recycled acrylic affect health and safety in the manufacturing process?
No, our Remade acrylic is processed under the same rigorous health and safety standards as our raw material ranges. The material is cleaned and sorted before casting, ensuring every piece meets the same safety and quality benchmarks as our standard products.
