Yes. Plastic pails can be manufactured using recycled resin for qualifying applications.
M&M Industries offers options incorporating Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) and Post-Industrial Resin (PIR) as alternatives to relying entirely on virgin resin.
However, recycled content is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The appropriate type and amount of recycled material depends on factors such as:
- Product being packaged
- Pail style and configuration
- Performance requirements
- Regulatory requirements
- Customer specifications
- Intended application
M&M Industries can work with customers to determine whether PCR, PIR, virgin resin, or a blend is appropriate for their particular packaging application.
