What Is Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Resin?
Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin is plastic material recovered after consumer use and processed so it can be used again in new products, including certain plastic packaging applications.
Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin is plastic material that has completed its original use, been collected from the waste stream, processed, and converted into resin that can be used to manufacture new products.
Using PCR can help reduce reliance on virgin resin by incorporating previously used plastic back into the manufacturing process.
M&M Industries offers PCR plastic pail options for qualifying applications, helping customers explore recycled-content packaging while continuing to consider the strength, durability, and performance their products require.
The amount of PCR that can be incorporated into a plastic pail depends on factors such as the specific pail, intended application, performance requirements, regulatory considerations, and customer specifications.
