What is PCR (Post Consumer Recycled)?

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from HuaWei.

Post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic is what most people think of when they think of recycled material. As its name suggests, it comes from recycling consumer waste such as plastic bottles that you&#;ve thrown in your household blue bin for collection. On the other hand, post industrial recycled plastic comes from industrial waste products, such as plastic off cuts during the manufacturing process. 

Both these processes can help reduce the amount of plastic going to landfills, and by maximizing our use of recycled materials of all kinds, we can help lower our carbon footprint. Using recycled petroleum material is designed to reduce the need for new petroleum products to be processed, However, production of new petroleum material keeps going up year over year, so the jury is out on whether recycling petroleum materials can be the magic bullet! That&#;s why we believe that it&#;s important to have multiple irons in the fire and collaborate across our industry to make eco-friendly materials of all kinds more available - recyclable, renewable and compostable.

There are several challenges recyclers and manufacturers may face when using recycled material. The main issues faced by recyclers is sourcing, sorting, and cleaning. Sourcing good quality plastic material with few contaminants from recycle streams is incredibly important. Plastic needs to be sorted from other material types as well as from other plastic types. There are various methods used including manual/mechanical sorting, optical sorting, and flotation sorting, among others like chemical recycling. 

Plastic manufacturers may fine issues with recycled material consistency. Even the smallest amount of undesired material, such as a flake of black plastic in a bed of clear flake, may cause undesired qualities in the finished product. It is because of this reason why there may be some small specks in PCR material or discolouration of the product. This is why we only get our PCR flake from vetted, high quality recyclers. 

Our priority at good natured® is to use more renewable resources, less fossil fuel and no chemicals of concerns. We offer both compostable and recyclable material options and can incorporate PCR into a Bio-PET blend to let you deliver a renewable and recyclable one-two punch!
