There are no plastics used in the production of Nu-core® Geo-

composite Panels.

+ Plastics take a long time to break down, 700 years to disintegrate

+ There is no natural process for decomposing plastic
+ Plastic largely comes from crude oil
+ Burning plastic results in air pollution and toxic ash
+ Recycling plastic is economically unviable

Almost all Aluminum composite panel manufacturers world wide,

use large amounts of plastic materials in the make up of their core
materials.
