Translucent building elements
2540-4 PCR
The panel 2540-4 PCR is an innovative product in which a minimum fo 40 % of recycled polycarbonate, which has also been used outdoors for many years (post-consumer material), can be used again for a light building element.
Since recycled post-consumer polycarbonate has a muted hue, colourless extrusion or reprocessing into radiant shades is not possible. For this reason, we have developed the 2540-4 PCR panel.
Thanks to Rodeca BiColor technology, the basic body (A) of the panel can be made with post-consumer material and the top layer (B) is made of non-recycled material, which allows colouring in all variants.

Use, process, and reuse polycarbonate.
We often encounter the perception that plastic products should generally be viewed critically. Plastics have become deeply embedded in our everyday lives and have received considerable public attention, particularly in recent years. As a result, generalised perceptions of the material often emerge that do not always do justice to the diverse properties, applications and product concepts associated with plastics.
We produce components that remain as part of an overall construction for decades. Even if the building is renovated or modified, this does not automatically mean that it has to be disposed of or destroyed.
Plastics can be recycled and reused by us in many ways. Polycarbonate in particular is a very high-quality raw material that, even after recycling, can be used again for other applications or as a new raw material mixture for completely different purposes. The best examples of the reuse of polycarbonate elements that have already been used are our PCR panel and our PCR corrugated sheets.
Taking reycling further
Our advanced technologies make it possible: Polycarbonate façades and roofs can be transformed back into processable granulate after use, allowing the material to be incorporated into new products.
Questions and answers
about our translucent building elements.
Since the basic body of the panel is made of recycled post-consumer polycarbonate, it can only be coloured in muted shades. In order to give the possibility to colour the panel to the outside in powerful colours or crystalline, we have developed the 2540-4 PCR panel. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
Thanks to newly developed technologies, we are able to recycle old polycarbonate elements that have been in use for many years and reuse them as new products. Here it is important that the used polycarbonate elements to be recycled are subject to natural aging and have not been contaminated by chemical impurities. If you have an aging polycarbonate façade or roof and are interested in a new roofing made of recycled panels, please contact us!
Of course, PCR panels are also UV-protected in the same high quality. Due to the external layer of the panel made of virgin polycarbonate, the UV protection is equivalent to all other non-recycled panels.
