Renovo-HIPS™ is a post-consumer polystyrene sheet with excellent impact resistance. It is made using 25% post-consumer recycled material, providing a sustainable alternative to non-recycled High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) without compromising its physical properties.

Though lightweight, it resists dents, cracks, and other damage, even in high-traffic environments. Its smooth surface and great ink adhesion ensure excellent printing quality, allowing for consistently sharp graphics and vibrant colors. Renovo-HIPS™ can be recycled again after use to help further reduce the consumption of new material, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious signage or display projects.

Renovo-HIPS™ can be punched, drilled, sawed, sheared, thermoformed, and machined, allowing for intricate and customized signage and display designs. Its great ink adhesion makes the material easy to paint and print on through methods like screen printing and digital printing. Renovo-HIPS™ is not FDA-approved for food contact but can replace virgin polystyrene in many non-food contact applications, including banners, indoor signage, retail displays, models, menu boards, prototypes, enclosures, trade show graphics, and more.

Interstate Advanced Materials offers Renovo-HIPS™ in both full sheet and cut-to-size options.
