Eagle Plastics has signed an exclusive agreement with Foresight Innovations to distribute Recorelite® in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Recorelite delivers next-generation, lightweight, high-compression panels manufactured from recycled ABS.

Recorelite® was developed over five years in collaboration with Tata Technologies, the National Composite Centre and Exeter University, with funding support from Innovate UK and the Office for Zero-Emission Vehicles (OZEV). The outcome is a high-performance, lightweight, sustainable alternative to traditional materials such as plywood and metal.

Manufactured entirely from recycled content, Recorelite® offers outstanding compressive strength (typically 3.4 N/mm²) at a fraction of the weight, starting from just 3.9 kg/m². Its structure and compatibility with common adhesives and standard processes make it a versatile choice for industrial and commercial applications.

Recorelite® is available in various formats to meet different needs. Additionally, there is a panel with an anti-slip finish, specifically designed for floors in vans, trucks, ramps, the events industry and motorhomes/campervans. Recorelite® can be foiled for aesthetic applications while maintaining its high-impact characteristics. Eagle Plastics offers a cut-to-size service and expedited product delivery.
