Plastic Tiles and Recycled Materials: A Question of Quality

There is a debate in the industry about whether to use recycled materials in plastic tiles, such as plastic roof corrugated sheets, UPVC translucent sheets, and fiberglass roof panels.

Some argue that using recycled materials will help reduce waste and benefit the environment. However, others believe that incorporating recycled materials will compromise the quality and durability of the product.

Using recycled materials in plastic tiles can indeed reduce the quality of the product and shorten its service life. Good quality products in this category typically do not use recycled materials, as they need to meet strict standards for strength, endurance, and weather resistance. Therefore, manufacturers must carefully consider the trade-offs between environmental benefits and product quality when deciding whether to use recycled materials in plastic tiles. Ultimately, the goal should be to find a balance that minimises environmental impact without compromising the performance and longevity of the product.
