One of a kind. Every time.

Here at Smile Plastics, we’re dedicated to breathing new life into would-be waste materials. Our 100% recycled and recyclable panels contribute to the circular economy our built environment desperately needs to survive. As part of this, we have chosen to tell a material’s story through its surface.

It quite literally wears its lifecycle on its sleeve. Whether it’s the glimmer of yoghurt pot foil or the monochromatic flash of a barcode, it’s a visual reminder of how plastic plays a part in responsible material selection now into the future.

Classics Collection

The materials in our Classics Collection are made from would-be waste, such as discarded chopping boards, cosmetics bottles, and yogurt pots. Each sustainable material is available in a range of panel sizes, from supersize to planks, making them perfect for projects large or small.

More choice & shorter lead times

We’re accelerating the scaling up of our operations – doubling our production lines and trebling our capacity. Our 100% recycled plastic sheets are produced 24 hours a day, seven days a week, diverting 1,500 tonnes of plastic waste in the next year alone. And this will mean more material choice, and shorter lead times, so that regardless of the size, scale, or turnaround of your commercial project, we can meet your needs.
