In this blog, read how Forex®re can give your business a green boost

What exactly is Forex®re? 

Forex®re is a new, smart sheet material made of foamed PVC: light, sturdy and surprisingly versatile. Like standard Forex®, it is ideal for displays, signage and other large-format applications. What makes this material special? It is eco-friendly designed, with the same top quality you know from Forex®. In short: a sustainable choice without concessions. 

Why Forex®re is more durable than standard Forex®? 

Whereas traditional Forex® consists entirely of PVC, Forex®re contains 30% recycled PVC. This recycled material comes from two sources. One part comes from consumer waste. Think used Forex® sheets or packaging. The other part comes from industrial waste, such as trimmings from production that would otherwise go to waste. Breathing new life into this waste saves on new raw materials. The result? Less use of oil and gas during production

The main advantage of this approach is the reduced environmental impact. By using recycled material, up to 40% less CO2 is emitted during production. Moreover, both Forex® and Forex®re are endlessly recyclable. Turn in your old boards and help complete the circle. You will not only be doing nature a favour, but also contributing to the circular economy. 

The uniqueness of Forex®re 

Then there is the look of the material itself. Whereas Forex® is known for its brilliant white finish, Forex®re has a subtle recycled look. If you look closely, you can see small ‘speckles’ in the material. These come from ink and coloured PVC from the recycling stream. This gives Forex®re its own character and charm. It makes the material unique and authentic. And that is exactly what makes ecologically responsible design so special: it looks natural and tells a story at the same time.
