Post-Consumer Resin (PCR) refers to recycled plastic that comes from plastic products that have been used and discarded by consumers. After these plastic items are collected through recycling programs, they undergo a series of processes to clean, sort, and transform them into resin that can be used as a raw material in the production of new plastic products.

PCR is commonly used in various industries, including packaging, where it serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to virgin plastic. By incorporating post-consumer resin into manufacturing processes, companies can reduce their reliance on new, petroleum-based plastics and contribute to the circular economy by promoting the reuse of materials.

Using PCR in packaging and other products helps divert plastic waste from landfills and decreases the overall environmental impact associated with the production of plastic. It is a way to address sustainability concerns by promoting recycling and reducing the consumption of finite resources.
