Acrylic Idea Factory, a leading manufacturer and pioneer in the awards and recognition products industry, is proud to be a foremost supplier of environmentally responsible acrylic awards and products. Because clarity is essential in our work, we use virgin acrylic monomers to ensure optimal purity and quality in every piece.

We continually develop new techniques and procedures to reduce waste, emissions, and hazardous air pollutants. For example, our EasySTIQ products feature a self-adhesive tape solution that replaces solvent-based adhesives—further cutting down on harmful vapors without compromising product integrity. As new technologies emerge, we remain committed to refining our processes, ensuring our acrylic products remain both durable and recyclable.

We source large slabs of acrylic sheets from manufacturers who do not use lead in their acrylic components. Compared to commonly used materials like wood or certain metals, acrylic is safer to process—generating minimal dust and releasing no toxic fumes during fabrication.

Furthermore, our manufacturing process maximizes each sheet of acrylic to minimize environmental impact, and all scrap material is sent to recyclers who repurpose it for items such as ice scrapers, electrical wire coverings, bottles, and plastic lumber. When acrylic does burn, it provides virtually smokeless combustion, breaking down into carbon dioxide and water.

Acrylic Idea Factory is dedicated to ongoing sustainability efforts—producing eco-friendly, durable products that minimize waste, maximize recycling, and help preserve the environment for future generations.
