PCR is recycled plastic made from waste products such as plastic milk and beverage bottles. Post-consumer resin (PCR) is an environmentally sustainable solution that can reuse single-use materials that would otherwise be discarded in landfills.

The production of PCR begins with the collection and sorting of these waste plastics in commercial and residential recycling programs. The recovered items are ground, washed, dried and pelletized-ready to be reused in future manufacturing.

Deepak's PCR materials are mainly sourced from the United Kingdom to minimize transportation carbon footprint, closely monitor traceability and assurance, and meet strict European regulations, giving you real peace of mind.

What are the benefits of PCR?

• PCR reduces the consumption of new plastic

• PCR reuses recycled plastic, such as disposable items

• The use of PCR greatly reduces dumping in landfills

• PCR can be recycled again for new manufacturing

• PCR plastic does not require further consumption of new fossil fuels

• Raepak's PCR mainly comes from the UK to reduce transportation and reduce our carbon footprint

• Using PCR packaging helps brand owners; show consumers that they care about the environmental impact of product packaging

• The use of post-consumer resin contributes to the formation of a circular economy.
