What is MetaStream®?

MetaStream® is an independently audited recycling1 initiative that allows recovery of production waste and end-user products produced using qualified Metamark products, turning them into useful articles that can themselves be recycled multiple times2. This recycling initiative has far-reaching scope for application keeping valuable resources out of landfill and incineration streams and helping work towards more environmentally responsible operation and growth of the signage, graphics and allied industries. 

MetaStream® is currently only available in the UK.

How does MetaStream® work?

1

Call to find out if MetaStream® is suitable for you. We will then ask you to sign and return a waste transfer agreement as a regulatory requirement.

2

MetaStream® Ready products need to have release liner and film separated and in separate bags, or palleted

3

Call to arrange collection. Metamark will arrange collection through our specialist partner company.

The liner or film is processed through our specialist facility, recycling the raw materials. The process is independently audited.

4

Metamark raises and invoice to cover the nominal cost to you for recycling the MetaStream® product collected.

High Impact Graphics, Low Impact Materials

MetaStream®, from Metamark, helps you to make recyclable liveries and commercial graphics for your customers. When the campaign’s over, or the livery retired, the graphics you supplied are recovered and MetaStream® turns them into hard-working articles that can themselves be recycled at the end of their lives. 1Significantly reducing landfill and incineration.

PVC Freed

MetaStream® works with long proven, top-quality vinyl materials that you know well and trust to perform. Materials available include coloured Metamark SignVinyl for high-impact lettering and logos, Metamark MD-Class digital media for printed graphics and livery, and durable over-laminates for protection. Other material species don’t offer the performance needed for high performing graphics and are typically consigned to landfill or incineration.

Since its launch, MetaStream® has made a big difference to some of the largest brand and fleet owners looking to reduce their environmental impact.

Metamark are pleased to have extended the scheme to a wider audience through the MetaStream® handy size Grab Bag, which require a minimum of 300kg of either film or liner per bag, within the collection period.

Give us a call to find out how MetaStream® could work for your current liner and film levels and how it meets your needs at the current time.
