Elevating Sustainable Interiors with The Good Plastic Company's New Translucent Collection
In a world increasingly conscious of its ecological footprint, The Good Plastic Company has taken yet another transformative step in its mission to revolutionize sustainable materials.
Introducing the Translucent Collection—an expansion of the Polygood® line of 100% recycled and recyclable plastic panels sourced from discarded clear CD cases and enhanced with vibrant accents derived from industrial tubes, spools, acoustic panels, and single-use cutlery. This innovative collection pushes the boundaries of recycled materials, merging aesthetic sophistication with environmental stewardship.
Founded in 2018 by Dr. William Chizhovsky, a visionary with a Ph.D. in Economics and a background in global trade, The Good Plastic Company has become a beacon of circular economy principles. Driven by a passion for sustainability, Dr. Chizhovsky leveraged his entrepreneurial acumen to establish a company that champions eco-friendly design and redefines the possibilities of recycled materials. Under his leadership, The Good Plastic Company has repurposed over two million pounds of plastic waste into high-quality, sustainable materials, partnering with global design powerhouses like Nike, Samsung, Adidas, and Perkins&Will.
The Translucent Collection's colourful panels offer versatility, adding depth and drama to interior spaces with unique patterns and textures.
The launch of the Translucent Collection marks a pivotal moment in the company’s journey. “With the Translucent Collection, we are pushing the boundaries of what recycled materials can achieve,” notes Dr. Chizhovsky.
Each panel in this collection is a testament to the potential of upcycled materials, revealing a dynamic interplay of light, colour, and texture that adds depth and drama to any space. These panels are not merely decorative; they are a bold statement on the importance of circular design and sustainable innovation.

Available in glossy and matte finishes and various thicknesses, these panels can be used in diverse applications, from retail environments and hotels to office spaces and universities. More than just aesthetically pleasing, the Polygood® panels are engineered to be durable, fire-resistant, UV-resistant, and waterproof, making them ideal for high-traffic areas where resilience is key.

Beyond design, the Translucent Collection embodies The Good Plastic Company’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Each panel contributes to a regenerative cycle, backed by a Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certification and an Environmental Product Declaration. This commitment is further supported by the company's innovative Take Back Program, which allows clients to return used panels for remanufacturing. This closed-loop system minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency, a concept integral to The Good Plastic Company's mission.
As we look toward a future where sustainability is no longer a luxury but a necessity, The Good Plastic Company stands at the forefront of this movement. Their Translucent Collection challenges our perceptions of recycled materials, proving that sustainability and style can coexist without compromise. By elevating recycled plastic into a material of choice for architects and designers worldwide, The Good Plastic Company is redefining how we think about consumption and waste, one panel at a time.
Polygood® panels combine strength and style, offering sustainable, fire-resistant, and UV-resistant options for diverse architectural applications.
