What is Polygood?

Polygood is a surface material made from 100% recycled plastic by The Good Plastic Company.

This allows the team to collect a wide variety of data parameters during processing, including temperature and melting points, pressure, time, and melt flow index.

The proprietary technology enables their team to make recycled panels of the highest quality, which is supported by laboratory test results and certification to international standards.

Their two current factories in the Netherlands and Ukraine are able to produce more than 1,000 tonnes of recycled plastic panels per year, meeting industrial-scale demand.
