Why Use PCR Plastic?

Why Use PCR Plastic?

PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastic is reprocessed from end-of-life consumer waste (e.g., packaging, electronics, automotive parts). Contrasted with PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) – from factory scrap – PCR tackles larger waste streams.

 

Key Drivers for PCR Adoption:

Waste Reduction: Diverts post-consumer plastics from landfills/oceans.

 

Regulatory Pressure:

UK’s Plastic Packaging Tax (£200/ton if <30% recycled content).

Corporate sustainability mandates globally.

Resource Efficiency: Lowers demand for virgin fossil resources (oil, gas).

Brand Value: Meets consumer demand for eco-friendly products.

 

Conclusion:

PCR plastic is critical for circular economies, driven by environmental responsibility and increasing legislation.
