The RX-78F00/E Gundam (EX-001 G.L.R.S.S. Feather Unit) Chemical Recycling Version is the first Gunpla ever made with chemically recycled resin
Chemical recycling is a process that breaks down used plastics at the molecular level, converting them back into raw materials that can be reused to create high-quality plastic once again.
To produce this special model, BANDAI SPIRITS collected used runners from customers, which were then chemically recycled by PS Japan together with other polystyrene waste. The resulting monomers were purchased by BANDAI SPIRITS and used as raw materials in the manufacturing of this kit.
Each unit contains 44% chemically recycled plastic by weight.
BANDAI SPIRITS and PS Japan have been developing this recycling technology since 2021, and this marks the first time their research has advanced to a fully practical, real-world application.
