At sproos!, we like to do things differently. That includes rethinking the materials that go into your shower—and making them cleaner, greener, and a whole lot more colorful.

When we decided to use PCR plastic (that’s post-consumer recycled plastic), we didn’t just grab something off the shelf. We went the extra sproos! mile to develop a material that could meet our high standards for vibrancy, durability, and sustainability—because being eco-conscious isn’t a trend to us, it’s at the core of everything we do.

What even is PCR plastic?

 

In short, PCR plastic is upcycled plastic waste, like old bottles and containers, that has been collected, cleaned, and recycled into something brand new. Instead of ending up in landfills, it gets a second chance at life. In our case, it becomes a statement-making shower.

The sproos! difference – engineered just for us

We went beyond the basics by partnering with a specialized supplier to develop a raw PCR material exclusively for sproos! This isn’t off-the-shelf recycled plastic: it’s been meticulously engineered to meet our high standards in several ways:

• Vibrancy: We developed a proprietary PCR color chip to ensure every hue is deep, bold, and true to our brand. The material was rigorously tested to retain its brightness over time, so your shower remains a colorful statement year after year.
  
  

• Durability: Our custom PCR plastic is built to handle both daily use and the rigors of water filtration without compromising its integrity. It’s been specifically formulated to offer longevity and resilience in every product we design.
  
  

• Customization: By fine-tuning the material at the source, we could control every element of its performance—from how it takes color, to how it reacts in various conditions. This level of refinement positions us as industry experts in combining eco-conscious practices with high design standards.
