Acrylic as a plastic is recyclable. It is difficult to do and is considered a Group 7 recyclable.


It's manufacturing process involves many toxic chemicals and requires a lot of energy. So it does have a significant impact on the environment. Obviously, if it is not recycled, it is not biodegradable, so it does not break down well over time.
