Recycling
Level
Acrylic
plastic is not easily recycled. It is considered a group 7 plastic
among recycled plastics and is not collected for recycling in
most communities. Large pieces can be reformed into other useful
objects if they have not suffered too much stress, crazing, or
cracking, but this accounts for only a very small portion of the
acrylic plastic waste. In a landfill, acrylic plastics, like many
other plastics, are not readily biodegradable. Some acrylic plastics
are highly flammable and must be protected from sources of combustion.
