One of the most important aspects of PCR plastics is their environmental credentials. PCR recycles plastics from the oceans by utilising materials already in the supply chain. Using PCR reduces your carbon footprint. Manufacturing packaging from post-consumer materials requires less energy and fossil fuel consumption. In addition, PCR plastics are highly malleable and can be made into any desired shape or size.

With legislation mandating the use of post-consumer recycled materials in many countries around the world, being one step ahead will help you comply. Using PCR adds a responsible element to your brand and shows your market that you care. The process of recycling, cleaning, sorting and recovery can be costly. But these costs can be offset by proper marketing and positioning. Many consumers are willing to pay a higher price for products packaged with PCR, making your product more valuable and potentially more profitable.
