NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CaraGreen Launches elementAl LIGHT, a New Colorful and Translucent Surfacing Material with 93% Recycled Content
RALEIGH, NC, July 31, 2019 – CaraGreen, the trusted source for healthier building materials, today announced its partnership with elementAl in creating a new line of surfacing materials, elementAl LIGHT which is translucent and suitable for backlighting, able to be thermoformed, and contains 93% recycled content. elementAl LIGHT is well-suited for tabletops, furniture/benches, partitions, shelving/cubbies, doors, and even artwork. elementAl LIGHT is made in the U.S and contributes to more sustainability in commercial and residential structures, assisting in managing the recycling issue in the U.S. due to China’s recent policy to refuse foreign waste.
As the built environment contributes to 45% of construction waste, purveyors of building materials are responsible to Create Better. CaraGreen is at the forefront of addressing this industry issue and by partnering with elementAl to create the LIGHT collection, the company turns what would be waste into bold and inspiring surfaces (available in 13 colors with options for customized designs).
elementAl LIGHT contains a ‘frosted” finish which can be backlit, showcasing a colorful glow. This material can also be thermoformed to a specific shape in a mold and cooled to create a unique finished product. elementAl LIGHT’s luminous quality is a brilliant feature for many applications and colors can be customized for an exclusive, one-of-a-kind design. elementAl LIGHT’s radiant colors are stunning and create artistic features in countless applications lending individual style to hotels, restaurants, office buildings, retail stores, schools, customized homes and other installations.
“After partnering with elementAl to create the initial line which is produced from plastic and metal from the post-consumer waste stream, we decided to work with them to create an even more modern version, still from recycled materials, but inspired by the light spectrum offering bright, fun colors. elementAl LIGHT is stimulating to the eye and can serve as a focal point in a variety of settings,” said Jessica McNaughton, CaraGreen President. “Further, elementAl LIGHT offers a more aggressive price point compared with similar products on the market.”
