QuickDrain recycles 19M plastic bottles as part of USA Shower Pan production
More than 19 million plastic bottles have been repurposed into thousands of pre-sloped and tile-ready shower pan systems since 2015 by QuickDrain USA. Comprised of extruded rigid PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic foam, the lightweight and shatterproof shower pans and panels are constructed from 100% post-consumer plastic water bottles.
According to the company, for every QuickDrain shower pan system installed, 450 plastic bottles are saved from landfills. Unlike conventional, pitched mud beds constructed over two-days, contractors using the company’s PET shower panels and waterproofing system can complete a shower modernization job in less than a day.
