♻️ Eco-Friendly Acrylic for Film & TV: Why We Choose Perspex® Re

Sustainability and creativity go hand in hand and at My Film & TV, we’re proud to make that a reality.

As part of our ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact within the production industry, we now use Perspex® Re (Recycled Acrylic) for all our reverse-printed clapperboards.

What Is Perspex® Re?

Perspex® Re is a cast acrylic sheet made using a minimum of 75% recycled MMA (methyl methacrylate) a by-product reclaimed from Perspex’s own manufacturing process.

This innovative approach reduces the need for virgin raw materials, cuts waste, and significantly lowers the carbon footprint. While maintaining the same clarity, durability, and premium finish trusted by designers, set builders, and production teams across the UK.

Why It’s Ideal for Film & TV

In fast-paced production environments where visual quality and turnaround time matter most, Perspex® Re performs beautifully:

- Brilliant clarity — perfect for reverse printing to make colours and graphics truly pop.

- Strong, lightweight, and easy to fabricate for custom clapperboards 

- UV and weather-resistant, suitable for both studio and outdoor filming.

We reverse print directly onto Perspex® Re, producing sleek, professional visuals that look stunning on camera.  Going from single colour logo clapperboards to backdrop hi res features picture. The reverse printing process protects the artwork behind the acrylic layer, ensuring a long-lasting, high-end finish that stands up to repeated use on set.

Sustainability That Shows

Choosing recycled materials is a small but powerful way for production teams to make more responsible choices. Every sheet of Perspex® Re helps to:

- Reduce landfill waste

- Lower CO₂ emissions compared to standard acrylic

- Support circular manufacturing practices in the UK

At My Film & TV, we’ve already made the switch at no additional cost to our customers, helping the film industry take another step toward greener production without sacrificing quality, creativity, or performance.
