oss has launched a closed loop scheme for UK customers choosing its Aluminium
Composite Panels (ACP), adding to its array of environmentally friendly materials and services.

Mark Rose operations director at Moss said: “We are excited to be part of this recycling initiative, offering products with robust green credentials. Multipanel UK’s ACP sits alongside the rest of our diverse range of eco-friendly materials, giving our customers more choice than ever when it comes to selecting sustainable products and services.”
Gary Weeks from Multipanel UK added: “We are thrilled to support the Moss’ journey towards achieving a 100% recycling rate. Our focus on a closed loop recycling process is one example of how we are responding to demands for greener graphics throughout the print industry, and we’re delighted to be part of the solution.”
