ARPRO® recycled content grade launched

JSP is pleased to announce another World first. This new ARPRO® variant will initially have 15% recycled ARPRO® content. The product has matching properties and moulding characteristics to existing ARPRO® products, at like-for-like density.

Despite the added production steps required to acquire and manage the addition of recycled content to the precision ARPRO® manufacturing process and the extra costs this incurs, JSP has taken the decision not to charge a premium but to subsidise the product in the near term. Following the publication of the ARPRO® Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the pan-European certification of ARPRO® production to ISO 14001, JSP has chosen to further enhance the extensive environmental benefits of ARPRO® and will be a vocal advocate for the ARPRO® recycled content product.

Product samples are available.

In addition we are establishing collection points for post-consumer ARPRO® parts across Europe. Product qualification information will be issued shortly. These will emphasise the need for clean ARPRO® parts, without inserts.
