The Good Plastic Company is thrilled to officially unveil the Translucent Collection, the latest addition to the Polygood® line of 100% recycled and recyclable plastic panels. The new collection––sourced from clear CD cases, and enhanced with vibrant accents from industrial tubes, spools, acoustic panels, and single-use cutlery––epitomizes the company’s dedication to circularity, without compromising on style. Transparency is more than just a physical attribute of the new line; it’s a guiding principle carried into every aspect of the company’s operations––from ethical sourcing of post-consumer and post-industrial waste to sustainable end-of-life processes. This commitment to regenerative practices ensures that each panel in the collection contributes to a circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled, reducing the demand for non-renewable materials and supporting the global effort to curb plastic pollution. The Translucent Collection builds on The Good Plastic Company’s international impact and highlights Polygood®’s versatility and aesthetic appeal while helping the industry transition away from conventional materials like virgin resins and other non-sustainable options.“With the Translucent Collection, we are pushing the boundaries of what recycled materials can achieve,” comments Dr. William Chizhovsky, CEO and Founder of The Good Plastic Company. “More than just a design element, Polygood® is a structural and scalable solution. Each pattern tells a story, embodying our mission to elevate sustainable materials to new heights.”Since its founding in 2018, The Good Plastic Company has repurposed over two million pounds of plastic, transforming it into high-quality, sustainable materials that have been embraced by household names like Nike, Samsung, Adidas, Coach, Lush, and McDonald’s, and leading international design and architecture firms like Perkins&Will, MVRDV, Gensler, and M Moser. Polygood® panels have been specified in over 1,000 projects worldwide, from Tokyo to Salt Lake City. Each panel is backed by the Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certification and Environmental Product Declaration, further solidifying its role as a leader in sustainable design.
