Sied develops

Plastics wholesaler, fabricator and developer PyraSied Xtreme Acrylic has been taken over by Sander de Boer (37) from Leeuwarden since Friday 2 July 2021. He has been operational director and shareholder since 2014 and is now taking over the company completely from founder Sied Kooistra and co-shareholder Marieke Pietersma. As a result, a new era is dawning in which, as general manager, Sander can roll out his bright future plans for the company, a company that has grown from a self-designed studio into an international brand that leads the way in acrylic (plexiglass) and recycled plastics.

Hot off the press! From now on all sustainable Ecocrylic® XT sheets will be delivered with a foil with Ecocrylic-print. This makes it immediately clear to the customer that this beautiful, transparent material consists of at least 70% recycled XT acrylic.

We have had the Greencast® collection - 100% recycled acrylic - in stock for a long time and since last year we have even added several transparent colours in 3 and 8mm thick. Our customers regularly asked us whether these colours can also be ordered in 5mm. Until recently we did not have this thickness in stock as standard, until now! All transparent colours from the Greencast® collection can be custom ordered online in 3, 5 and 8mm thick.

In the past 3 months, thousands, perhaps millions, of acrylic sneeze guards have been used as prevention against COVID-19. These screens are still necessary for the time being, but Heathland and PyraSied are already working together on an approach to be able to collect and recycle all those screens into new acrylic sheets.
