Material Profile
Eco / PCR
ECO / PCR (Post‑Consumer Recycled) plastics incorporate reclaimed waste materials into new packaging components, reducing virgin resin usage and lowering overall environmental impact.
About This Material
They maintain functional performance close to standard resins while delivering strong sustainability credentials for brands.
Recycle profile: Recyclable where the base resin is accepted (e.g., PET, PP, HDPE). Actual recyclability depends on regional infrastructure and PCR percentage. Dark or heavily tinted PCR may reduce sortability.
Common uses: Bottles, jars, closures, tubes, inner components, and secondary packaging where brands want visible sustainability claims.
Notes: Natural color variation, speckling, or haze is common due to recycled feedstock; higher PCR percentages may reduce clarity or gloss. Mechanical properties remain strong but may vary slightly by batch.
Ideal Applications
Bottles, jars, closures, tubes, inner components, and secondary packaging where brands want visible sustainability claims.
