Plastic Info
So here at AGL... we do things differently. We like to shake things up! We figured if we could use recycled and regrind plastic to make our discs, and they fly just as well - then WHY NOT?!!!!
Now we will be working with the Choice of Champions - Innova, and they have also been willing to work with us to develop some unique blends of their famous plastics with some regrind, which ultimately minimizes waste and is more environmentally conscious. Our Treeline of mold names, incorporates biomes and regions into our plastic naming for disc manufacturing.
So here is a breakdown of our NEW & ORIGINAL plastic types:
"NEW" will be used to describe the plastic with Innova manufacturing our new molds. The new molds will have "Manufactured by Innova" embossing, on the bottom of each disc, along with a custom AGL Sprue insert - which will be unique to us and our new AGL molds. The plastic names belong to us, so we will continue to keep, and use, for new molds under Above Ground Level - AGL Discs.
NEW Polar Plastic - our newest premium plastic that is extremely consistent with amazing grip. Typically made with at least 20% of regrind materials from Innova's famous Star Plastic. We will come out with new varieties of this plastic in the future!
NEW Alpine Plastic - our other new premium plastic that is extremely durable and will have incredible longevity. Typically made with at least 20% regrind from Innova's Champion Plastic. We will come out with new varieties of this plastic in the future!
NEW Woodland Plastic - our new baseline plastic that has incredible grip and texture for amazing putting and control. Typically made with at least 20% regrind from Innova's Nexus Plastic. We will come out with new varities of this plastic in the future.

"Original" will be used to describe the plastic that we produced under Gateway. We will be discontinuing the molds that were put out under Gateway, but the plastic names will always belong to Above Ground Level - AGL Discs.
Original Polar Plastic - our special premium blend that was made at Gateway. This plastic was used 2020-2021, and it was made with an acrylic polymer that made the plastic have great grip and a slightly less stable flight path than it's Alpine counterpart
Original Alpine Plastic - our premium and most used plastic that was made at Gateway. Sometimes it would be clear and sometimes it would be opaque due to its mix of recycled and regrind materials. Other varieties or combos were made such as: Original Alpine Lichen, Original Alpine Boreal, or Original Alpine Hemp
Original Woodland Plastic - our base plastic that was made at Gateway. Sometimes it would be soft and sometimes it would be more firm due to its mix of recycled and regrind materials. Other varieties or combos were made such as: Original Woodland Hemp, or Original Woodland Glow
