Acrylic Recycling UK-Wide Collections

At Collect and Recycle, we offer specialist recycling services for acrylic waste, helping businesses across the UK dispose of this type of plastic responsibly. Acrylic, commonly known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a transparent thermoplastic often used as an alternative to glass in a wide range of industries.

If your business regularly handles or disposes of acrylic products, including signage, displays, or off-cuts from production, our team can collect and process these materials safely and efficiently. We help reduce landfill use and support businesses in minimising their environmental impact through ethical and sustainable plastic recycling services.

Our logistics team ensures that all materials are transported securely to licensed recycling centres, where they’re processed in line with UK regulations. We work with businesses to reduce plastic waste, improve sustainability credentials, and optimise their overall waste management strategy.

What Acrylic Plastic Recycling Do We Collect?

Acrylic, classified as a group 7 plastic, is used in a wide array of commercial and industrial applications. We collect and recycle the following acrylic products:

  • Acrylic sheets (cut-offs, off-cuts, or full panels)
  • Clear and coloured PMMA panels

How Is Acrylic Plastic Recycled?

The recycling process for PMMA, or methyl methacrylate, differs from typical mechanical recycling due to its unique chemical composition. Here’s how it works:

  1. Collection and Sorting – Acrylic materials are collected, sorted by type and colour, and inspected for contamination.
  2. Preparation – Clean acrylic is shredded into smaller pieces to prepare it for chemical recycling.
  3. Depolymerisation – Through heating, PMMA is broken down into its monomer form (methyl methacrylate), which can be reused in the creation of new acrylic.
  4. Reformulation – The recovered monomers are purified and used in the production of fresh, high-quality recycled materials.

Because PMMA is 100% recyclable through chemical methods, this process significantly reduces the need for virgin raw materials, helping cut down your business’s carbon footprint.
