Cast / Extruded Acrylic
Policril REC: 100% recycled cast methacrylate made in Barcelona

In a global market that is increasingly demanding on sustainability, the polymer industry is facing a fundamental challenge: guarantee the circular economy without compromising the technical quality of the material. In Irpen, with more than six decades of experience in the manufacture of methacrylate, we have responded to this challenge with the launch of Policril REC.
What is Policril REC?
Policril REC is our range of cast methacrylate (Cast Acrylic) manufactured entirely in our Barcelona from recovered raw materials.
Through a process of chemical recycling, the excess material decomposes to recover its original monomer. This process allows us to obtain a plate with exceptional purity, ensuring that the recycled material maintains exactly the same optical, mechanical and durability properties than virgin methacrylate.

Environmental impact in data: CO2 equivalence
Choosing European and circular manufacturing materials is not just a declaration of intent; it's a decision with a measurable positive impact on the decarbonization of any project.
- Emission savings: For every ton of Policril REC produced, the emission of approximately 3,000 kg of CO2 to the atmosphere compared to the production of virgin material.
- Absorption capacity: To put this data into perspective, the CO2 savings generated by each ton of Policril REC are equivalent to the annual absorption capacity of 150 trees.
Strategic advantages of manufacturing in Barcelona
As local manufacturers, Policril REC offers competitive advantages that transoceanic import materials cannot match:
- Reducing the logistical footprint: By producing in Barcelona, we eliminate the environmental impact of long-distance shipping and guarantee much faster delivery times.
- Certified Quality: Our production is audited under international standards ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ensuring a reliable and responsible product.
- Total Customization: Unlike other suppliers, our manufacturing capacity allows us to develop custom colors and specific thicknesses for architecture, retail or industrial design projects.
Applications and Versatility
Policril REC has no creative limits. Its excellent performance when it comes to machining and thermoforming makes it ideal for:
- Window dressing and high-end furniture.
- Premium lettering and visual communication.
- Technical architecture projects and acoustic barriers.
Conclusion: The “Irpen Green Choice” Commitment
With Policril REC, we demonstrated that it is possible to close the plastic circle. We offer our customers first-class engineering material that not only meets the highest aesthetic and technical expectations, but also protects the future of the planet.
