Alkemi Copper is a clear, polyester-based composite that incorporates 60% (by volume) PIR scrap waste. It is a durable and strong surface. The product is commonly used for horizaontal and vertical decorative surfaces, counter-tops, and furniture tabletops.
RESOURCES
Alkemi Copper scraps consist of 84% recycled copper and are covered with virgin polymeric resin. They plaan to create a recycled polymeric resin.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Renewed materials packages samples in kraft paper and ships orders on recyclable wood pallets. The post industrial collection of aluminum diverts the scrap from entering the waste stream in which it would be burned, emitting pollutants. They will reclaim broken pieces or cut-offs from installation and take back any unused products to be reused as samples.
HUMAN HEALTH
VOC emissions for Alkemi Copper are negligible. Alkemi does not contain fire retardant. Toxic resin dust from sanding is captured and used to form the opaque resin in Alkemi counter-tops.
SOCIAL EQUITY
Alkemi supports The Starfish Porgramme, which provides scholarships for youth in Uganda. Alkemi is also a lender in Kiva, and online microlending program that assists entreprenueurs globally.
