PLASTICS
PLASTICHE
The materials we use to give shape to our furnishing elements include various types of
high-quality plastics, selected for their high-performance. Lapalma has always been
committed to reducing its use of plastic materials, bearing in mind, however, that
plastic is not considered a material harmful to the environment when used for furniture
that is intended to have a long life and then be recycled at the end of it. This is why
the most widely used plastics are polypropylene and polyurethane, both recyclable.
Some of our single-structures are made of moulded Baydur, a structural rigid
polyurethane that is recyclable and has superior mechanical properties.
Recycled polypropylene
We have also introduced 75% - 85% recycled polypropylene to our collection. It
is obtained from recovering plastics from separated waste collection processes. We
have decided not to process it with other colours in order to make it recyclable at the
end of its life.
