Are Spelsberg enclosures for prefabricated and cast-in-place concrete recyclable?
Short answer
Yes. The enclosures in our IBT range, designed for use in concrete constructions, are made from polypropylene copolymer (PPC) and are fully recyclable. PPC is classed as plastic type 5 under the Resin Identification/Plastic Recycling Code, withstands four closed loops of recycling and suits both mechanical and chemical processing. It is also lightweight compared with other plastics, which makes it well suited to concrete applications. The range spans a spread of ingress protection, from IBT Precon junction boxes at IP30 to universal installation housing rated to IPX4, and includes protection class II rated junction boxes where safe electrical separation is required.
