Post Consumer Regrind (PCR) - a sustainable solution

PET is one of the easiest materials to recycle. PET PCR is even more environmentally friendly as it is manufactured from recycled plastic. PCR, is increasing in popularity as brands adopt a sustainable approach to packaging.

With the focus on reducing plastic waste to landfill, PCR not only makes use of recycled plastic, but it can be recycled again and re-manufactured into a fresh batch of PCR packaging. Part of a circular economy, PCR offers genuine sustainability. Your PET packaging can be made in a variety of PCR strengths. 5-10% PCR can be added to PET bottles and jars with little to no impact on optical clarity. 100% PCR is more suitable for opaque packaging or colouring and responds well to decoration.

Talk to BLUESKY to discover the impact of PCR packaging for your brand.
