So what is PCR?
- PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled. Plastic that has already gone through a first consumer use which is then recycled is considered Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) material. This is different to 100% recycled plastic which may only be recycled scrap plastic that has not yet gone through consumer use.
- Eco-friendly and innovative, PCR is available in various resins and can be added in a wide variety of packaging options such as compacts and palettes, sticks, pots and pens and ICS has a huge variety of packaging for you to choose from (with and without PCR).
- Some of our most popular items are featured in the Products section of our website, but we also have many more items available. Contact us to let us know about your PCR needs and find out more about our products ad PCR options.
