FAQ’S

  • Pretty Plastic is made out of 100% recycled plastic collected from waste of the building sector. So your tiles might have been a window or a water pipe in an earlier life. We make our facade tiles out of PVC due to its great qualities with regards to fire, weather and UV resistance. See also the story of Pretty Plastic.

  • We offer four different colour ranges: green, terracotta grey and ochre. Each colour has three different shades (light - medium - dark) that vary per production batch. It is possible to order single tiles through our shop.

  • Order-to-delivery-time starts from 4 weeks depending on the size of your order, delivery address, our items in stock, and the amount of orders we receive. Secure your place in line by requesting a proposal!

  • Pretty Plastic can be used on a roof. In the planning process we can support you with the execution of all details. We made you a digital information kit that provides you with a manual, among others.

  • We have a product sheet and manual, which provides several options for corner solutions and more. We only produce the tiles. Click here for our digital information kit.

  • Yes!

    Help us close the loop:

    Return - The tiles can be easily disassembled and sent to our facilities.

  • Yes, Pretty Plastic has an EPD for the ‘First One’ panel, which can be downloaded from our website.

    Please note that the purpose of the ‘First One’ panel is to recycle as much PVC as possible into new building materials, resulting in a higher product weight per functional unit.

    This design choice is reflected in the LCA and EPD results.

    The tile has also been included in the Dutch ‘Nationale Milieudatabase’ (NMD, or National Environmental Database) in Category 1, making it the first building material in this group made from 100% recycled PVC.

  • Pretty Plastic is committed to a sustainable future by adhering to the principles of a circular economy, such as eliminating waste and maintaining materials without downcycling. Additionally, we focus on achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9, 12, and 13.

    By using recycled PVC, the need for virgin materials is reduced. To our knowledge, Pretty Plastic is the only company using this challenging “raw material” to create circular building products, particularly facade and roof panels. The recycled PVC granules used are sourced from construction waste (e.g., gutters, window frames, pipes), which would otherwise end up in landfill or be used as a base layer in road construction.

  • Some microplastics may be released during cutting, so it is highly recommended to wear a facemask and collect dust. Once installed, there is minimal microplastic emission, as there is no abrasion between the products, and the panels are neatly assembled in one place.

  • During the production of our Pretty Plastic tiles, little to no waste is generated. All panels that do not meet our standards, the protrusions and most of the rinsing material can be reused again as raw material for the production of a new panel.

    The shredder, which prepares waste materials for a new production process, is also located at our production facility. The small amount of actual waste (thermally overheated) is treated as industrial waste and used to generate energy and heat during incineration.

  • Pretty Plastic tiles should be attached to a wall with an underlying wooden structure made out of wooden slats (C18) with a minimum dimension of 24x48 mm / 28x45 mm (commonly available sizes in EU).

    Every tile needs a screw to be installed on the slat construction. The screws to be used should be SPAX-Universal Screw 25/45x4 mm or any similar product. Between tiles should be a space of 2 mm.
