Sustainability is an important issue for us, which is why we strive to use as many sustainable materials for laser cutting. On this page you will find an overview of our materials with sustainable labels and explanations of what makes them sustainable.
Our vision of laser cutting as a sustainable production technique
Making new products always has an impact on the environment. However, laser cutting makes it possible to produce exactly what is needed, reducing overproduction and environmental impact. This makes laser cutting a sustainable production technique.
We are proud of our range of FSC® certified wood, including bamboo and birch wood. FSC wood comes from forests that are responsibly managed according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines. The FSC label guarantees that you are choosing sustainable wood with minimal environmental impact.
In addition to wood, we also have a wide range of recycled plastics. Many of our acrylics, such as GreenCast and EcoCast, are made from recycled PMMA and consist of more than 99% recycled material. We also offer PET felt made from recycled PET, a strong and durable plastic perfect for creative projects.
The most innovative material in our range is BioPanel, a biodegradable plastic with low environmental impact. BioPanel is strong, but can be completely reused or degraded after use, making it a groundbreaking option in sustainable design.
Sustainability is trending, but not all claims are reliable. Sustainable labels, such as the FSC label, provide assurance about the origin and production methods of materials. This prevents greenwashing and helps consumers make responsible choices. Want to know more about the FSC meaning and why this label is important? We are happy to explain.
The market for sustainable materials is constantly evolving. At Lasersheets we are testing new materials that are suitable for laser cutting, such as sustainable bamboo, recycled plastic, PET felt panels, and biodegradable plastics such as BioPanel. These materials, including sustainable wood such as FSC bamboo, are not only functional, but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

100% recycled & recyclable
In een speciale fabriek wordt pre- en post-consumer acrylaat omgevormd tot nieuwe grondstof (MMA) met precies dezelfde hoge kwaliteit, zowel optisch als mechanisch, als nieuwe 'virgin' acrylaat. Acrylaat is op deze manier eeuwig te recyclen zonder dat de kwaliteit achteruit gaat.
Ook onze eigen resten van acrylaat (en die van Snijlab) worden apart ingezameld en gaan direct terug in dit recyclingproces en worden zo weer nieuwe platen.
Er zijn verschillende merken gerecycled acrylaat. Lasersheets levert onder andere Green Cast® van Madreperla en ECO CAST® van Astariglas.

GreenCast
Green Cast® is 100% gerecycled gegoten acrylaat van de leverancier Madreperla.
Het gerecyclede acrylaat is in de basis glashelder, kleurloos plaatmateriaal. Het is altijd kleurecht en UV-bestendig. Het grote voordeel van dit materiaal is dat het oneindig te recyclen is zonder verlies van kwaliteit. Hierdoor kan het materiaal heel goed hergebruikt worden.
Het is een volledig circulair materiaal.
