How it's madePretty Plastic Panels

Upcycling as much waste as possible and turning it into unique and beautiful building materials. That is our mission.

Plastic is widely considered one of the most challenging waste streams. First-generation PVC windows and doors generate more than 400,000 tonnes of waste per year in Europe alone.

Repurposing this material not only helps mitigate the issue but also transforms it into a stunning, long-lasting solution when used for design wall cladding.

Plastic waste as a resource

FRONT® Pretty Plastic Panels - How It's Made
There is a growing influx of first-generation plastic windows and doors, primarily PVC frames, as they become more commonly used in construction. As buildings are demolished, an increasing volume of this material is being discarded, with limited recycling options, often leaving landfill as the only available solution.
FRONT® Pretty Plastic Panels - How It's Made
These old window frames, downspouts and rain gutters are collected, to form the only ingredient for the Pretty Plastic Panels.
