Smile Plastics

Smile Plastics is Smile Materials’ collection of recycled plastic panels in named PET, HIPS, and HDPE designs.

Website: https://smile-materials.com/material-brand/smile-plastics/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smile.materials/

Maker: Smile Materials Ltd
Composition: 100% recycled and recyclable plastic from a mix of pre- and post-consumer waste, including yoghurt pots and white goods; panels are sorted into PET, HIPS, or HDPE types, but a panel is not guaranteed to contain only one type.
Process: Recycled plastic is hand-selected, hand-arranged, and pressed into panels at the Wales factory; panels leave the press complete and can be CNC-routed or hand-finished.
Properties: Indicative data sheets list densities of 1.28 g/cm³ for rPET, 1.06 g/cm³ for rHIPS, and 0.95 g/cm³ for rHDPE; fabrication guidance gives about 2 mm per metre of thermal expansion over a 10°C change and rapid rigidity loss above 85°C for unsupported sheets.
Applications: Smile Plastics x ACAD Ocean Modular Seating installation (2021, reimagined 2022); Jean Paul Brkovic Heron UTO series low chair, coffee table, and stacking benches (2024); Ocean More Than Just a Bench public bench (2025); GOODSHEET Orca Statement Bench (2025)
Made in: Swansea, Wales, UK
Availability: Samples and Inquiries
