100 Percent
3form is developing a new materials platform called 100 Percent, which is comprised of recycled household HDPE containers. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a remarkably useful material and something each of us comes in contact with everyday. Bottles made from HDPE have good stiffness and barrier properties and are ideal for packaging products having a short shelf-life such as milk. HDPE's good chemical resistance allows it to be used in containers holding household detergents or industrial chemicals. Unlike PETG which is used to make ecoresin, HDPE is an opaque material.
3form is transforming this utilitarian packaging material into engineered panels, and production and engineering personnel are working to attain optimal surface characteristics and panel dimensions for partitions, work surfaces, furniture, lab/research environments, educational environments, and outdoor surfaces.
