For PLEXIGLAS®, reincarnation is old hat. We call it “recycling.”

We believe in reincarnation. The reincarnation of PLEXIGLAS®, at least. Because PLEXIGLAS® is so pure that it can be broken down into its basic components again to be reborn as new PLEXIGLAS®. Few plastics can achieve a rebirth of this kind – this is not downcycling, but true recycling in the interests of a circular economy!

The universe created the sun. All other lights can be created with PLEXIGLAS®.

The great thing about PLEXIGLAS® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. PLEXIGLAS® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.
