Description
This premium 100% recycled red acrylic sheet is a high-performance cast plastic engineered for demanding applications where appearance, durability and sustainability all matter. Produced entirely from recycled acrylic feedstock, it offers the optical clarity, colour depth and mechanical strength you would expect from a virgin cast sheet, while significantly reducing environmental impact.
With excellent UV resistance and long-term weatherability, this red 72038 sheet is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in engineering, fabrication and display projects. Supplied in a generous 3050 mm x 2030 mm format at 3 mm thickness, it can be cut, machined, routed and bonded using standard acrylic-working techniques, making it a versatile choice for signs, panels, guards and decorative cladding.
Product Features
- Manufactured from 100% recycled acrylic material for an eco-conscious specification.
- High-performance cast acrylic construction for excellent optical and surface quality.
- Bold red 72038 colour for high visibility, branding, highlighting and decorative applications.
- Standard sheet thickness of 3 mm, suitable for panels, guards, signage and point-of-sale work.
- Generous sheet length of 3050 mm, allowing large panels or multiple smaller components to be cut from a single sheet.
- Sheet width of 2030 mm for efficient yield and reduced offcuts during fabrication.
- UV-resistant formulation designed to maintain colour and clarity in outdoor and high-light environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Environmentally responsible solution, helping reduce virgin plastic use and support circular material flows.
- Durable, impact-resistant sheet that withstands everyday knocks and handling better than many brittle glazing materials.
- Excellent weathering and UV stability, helping to minimise fading, yellowing or surface degradation over time.
- Easy to machine, drill, saw and laser-cut, speeding up production and enabling complex designs and precise cut-outs.
- Smooth, glossy surfaces and consistent colour for a professional finish in visible installations and display work.
- Lightweight compared with glass, enabling easier handling, reduced load on structures and lower transport costs.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This recycled red acrylic sheet is suitable for a wide range of engineering, fabrication and display projects where strong colour, durability and sustainability are key requirements.
- Signage, information boards and wayfinding panels for indoor and outdoor environments.
- Point-of-sale displays, retail fixtures and branded panels requiring a high-impact red finish.
- Protective guards, machine covers and safety screens where visibility and robustness are essential.
- Architectural features, interior panels and decorative cladding elements.
- Light-duty glazing, screens and partitioning where a coloured, semi-structural panel is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this 100% recycled acrylic sheet be used outdoors without fading?
Yes. The sheet is UV-stabilised and designed for outdoor use, offering good resistance to fading and weathering when correctly installed and maintained.
How can I cut and machine this 3 mm recycled acrylic sheet?
The sheet can be cut and machined using standard tools for acrylic, such as panel saws with fine-toothed blades, routers with appropriate cutters and, in many cases, laser cutters. Ensure tools are sharp and speeds are controlled to avoid overheating and stress cracking.
Is this recycled acrylic sheet as strong as standard cast acrylic made from virgin material?
Recycled cast acrylic is engineered to deliver mechanical and optical performance comparable to conventional cast acrylic. When used within recommended design guidelines, it provides similar strength, rigidity and durability while offering the added benefit of reduced environmental impact.
