Join us in protecting our world sustainably by using recycled plastics.

In the present era, society is increasingly aware of plastic waste. Using recycled plastic is one of the methods to solve the plastic waste problem sustainably by recycling plastic. Most often, we see only recycled PET plastic water bottles into synthetic fibers, packaging, straps, etc. However, in fact, there are many other forms of plastic waste recycling.

Today, RHINOSHIELD would like to introduce you to recycled plastics, what this recyclable plastic is, how it can help protect our world, and how RHINOSHIELD itself recycles plastics into recycled phone cases. If you are ready, let’s take a look.

As mentioned earlier, the problem of plastic waste or the Plastic Crisis is a problem that people in society are very interested in these days. This plastic waste crisis does not only affect humans and other living things, but also affects the world as a whole. For example, the impact of improper disposal of plastic waste makes plastic unable to decompose and becomes microplastics that spread and become foreign substances mixed in various things in nature.

One way to help protect our world from further damage from the plastic crisis is to choose recycled plastic. This recycled plastic is the process of bringing used plastic materials that can be recycled back into the recycling process, transforming them into new products made from environmentally friendly materials. This recycling of plastic waste can help reduce the amount of plastic waste, reduce the impact and problems from plastic waste disposal, and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to protect our beloved world from the plastic waste crisis.

The types of plastic that can be recycled are mainly divided into 7 types:

• ◾ Polyethylne Terephthalate or PET

• ◾ High Density Polyethylene or HDPE

• ◾ Polyvinylchloride or PVC

• ◾ Low Density Polyethylene or LDPE

• ◾ Polypropylene or PP

• ◾ Polystyrene or PS

• ◾ And other types of plastic besides the 6 types above that can be recycled.

The most popular and widely used plastic in industry and recycling is PET plastic. With its properties that are resistant to the recycling process and certified by organizations around the world, when thinking of recycled plastic, everyone will choose PET plastic.

As you can see, there are many types of plastic that can be recycled. But most of the time, we often hear or are familiar with recycled PET plastic. We learned that this type of plastic is a popular type of plastic that can be recycled 100%, becoming new products that can be reused many times, whether it is recycling plastic waste into water bottles, packaging, straps, or various synthetic fibers, etc.

“If used PET plastic can be recycled and reused for multiple cycles, why can’t used phone cases be recycled so that they can be reused for multiple cycles?” RHINOSHIELD asked this question, which led to the creation of Mono-Material products, or products that use only one type of material in production, in order to meet the concept of sustainability, which is a key vision of our brand.

Mono Material is the use of only one type of material in production. RHINOSHIELD has changed the material used in the production of the phone case to be entirely Thermoplastic Elastomer or TPE plastic, which is a type of plastic that can be recycled. This allows our used phone cases to be recycled and transformed into new products that can be reused 100%.

This Mono Material production process also reduces the difficulty of sorting plastics because it uses only one type of plastic in production, allowing the plastic recycling process to proceed smoothly and quickly, saving time, reducing resource usage, and greatly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the recycling process.

This Mono Material production process not only meets the requirements of recycled plastics that can be recycled multiple times like recycled PET plastic, but also the TPE plastic material has the properties of flexibility, strength, and durability, which is effective in preventing impacts. Therefore, you can be sure that the phone case produced with Mono Material using TPE plastic will be able to meet the requirements of both protecting the phone and protecting our world at the same time.

Reading up to this point, you will see that this plastic waste crisis is a problem that everyone should give importance to. Using recycled plastic is one of the best ways to solve the plastic waste problem by recycling plastic that has been used to be able to be used again, such as recycled PET, which is a recycling of plastic waste to be able to be used again in many cycles.
