Renovo-MPC® post-consumer polycarbonate sheet provides a fully sustainable alternative to standard polycarbonate without compromising on the physical properties polycarbonate is known for. Renovo-MPC® combines exceptional impact resistance with excellent optical properties such as high light transmission and low haze. In waste management facilities, its durability and high optical clarity make it an ideal replacement for glass in transparent protective barriers, ensuring visibility for smooth operations while safeguarding workers from potential hazards. Renovo-MPC® is also a suitable material for the signs and displays in waste management facilities that relay clear instructions, information, or warnings.

Reprocessed UHMW's low moisture absorption, great impact resistance, and ease of machinability make it a popular material favored by wastewater specialists. Made with a blend of recycled and virgin UHMW, eco-friendly reprocessed UHMW has slightly better wear resistance than virgin UHMW and sees use in mechanical components like wear rails, chain guides, and chute liners in waste management systems. Its self-lubricating properties and resistance to corrosion increase the lifespan of components, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Pipe Grade HDPE sheet is a versatile material used for waste management applications due to its outstanding chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and long-term durability. The material’s high strength-to-weight ratio makes it a preferred choice for manufacturing waste containers, tanks, and drainage systems. Pipe Grade HDPE exhibits increased performance in piping systems due to its increased molecular weight and has uses in essential landfill projects like leachate collection and gas extraction systems. The material's resistance to corrosion and lasting durability makes it ideal for underground usage. Pipe Grade HDPE is UV-stable and is resilient in the face of challenging outdoor conditions, solidifying its suitability for rigorous waste management environments.

Interstate Advanced Materials looks forward to collaborating with waste management professionals ahead of WasteExpo 2024 to address current industry challenges. The company is dedicated to helping the waste management sector expand its knowledge about the benefits provided by plastics and other composite materials.
