PCR-Recycling

PCR recycling (post-consumer recycling) refers to the recycling of plastics that have already been used by end consumers and subsequently disposed of.
These plastics come from waste, such as used packaging or household items, which are collected, sorted and recycled after use.

In PCR recycling, the collected plastics are cleaned, shredded and processed so that they can be used as a raw material for new products. This reduces the amount of waste and the need for new, petroleum-based plastics. This process therefore not only helps to conserve resources, but also to reduce CO₂ emissions, as the production of recycled plastic generally requires less energy than the production of new plastic.

PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastics are materials that have already completed a full life cycle, e.g. from households but also from commercial and industrial facilities. This area represents the largest waste stream, which is why it is all the more important to utilize it for greater sustainability through a wide variety of recycling solutions.

All plastic waste is sorted, cleaned, heated and, if necessary, refined in consultation with the customer and then ground in order to reintroduce it to the market as high-quality PCR pellets to enable a smooth closed-loop system.
Thanks to our continuous research, we have been able to develop granulates with a very high grade and color purity so that we can continue to offer producers the best quality for their production chains in the future.
