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.

Key Features of the Translucent Collection:

Circular Production: Polygood® stands out in the market with its Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certification and Environmental Product Declaration. The Translucent Collection is both a design marvel and a breakthrough in material regeneration, entirely recycled and recyclable multiple times over, showcasing the company’s leadership in sustainable innovation. By turning waste into beautiful, functional materials, The Good Plastic Company is driving the transition to a circular economy and helping to eliminate unnecessary plastic use.

Innovative Design: The vivid patterns in the Translucent Collection play with light and the full spectrum of color, creating dynamic visual effects that add whimsy or drama to any space. From neons to neutrals, the collection boasts eye-catching patterns like Coral Reef and Ice Lollipop, as well as more opaque colorways like Glitter Gold and Yellow Submarine. Some patterns also catch the light to reveal tiny, effervescent bubbles throughout. Available in two thickness options (12mm and 19mm) and both glossy and matte finishes, these panels are suitable for a multitude of applications, from retail stores to hotels, universities, and office spaces.

Enhanced Durability: Engineered for performance, all Polygood® panels are fire-resistant, UV-resistant (with coating), and waterproof, ensuring long-lasting durability in a variety of environments. These qualities make Polygood® a sustainable, resilient choice for industrial-scale projects.

End-of-Life Optimization: The Good Plastic Company’s free Take Back Program extends the lifecycle of Polygood® panels, allowing clients to return used panels for remanufacturing, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to sustainability and waste reduction.
