What is Classed as Recycled Content Infographic_Select WHAT IS RECYCLED CONTENT? MATERIAL LIFECYCLE GLOSSARY OF TERMS Material Manufacturer - Raw material suppliers or processors who produce materials ready for manufacturing Reworkable Material - O� spec or scrap materials that are re-ground or re-worked back into the same supply or manufacturing process that produced them – these are not considered recycled Prime - Materials supplied that meet the required specification, ready for processing/ manufacturing Processor - Manufacturing of products ready for market e.g. molders and extruders Retail/Consumer - End user Reclaimer - Local recycling center for consumer goods Post-Consumer Recycle (PCR) - Materials derived from polymers reclaimed at the end of their lifecycle that have been through waste treatment Scrap Parts & Materials - Waste from the manufacturing process that cannot be reused within the same process or sold to the market Waste Treater - Regional industrial waste reclamation center Post-Industrial Recycle (PIR) - Material derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process that has been through waste treatment PRIME POST- CONSUMER RECYCLE (PCR) WASTE TREATER POST- INDUSTRIAL RECYCLE (PIR) REWORKABLE MATERIAL RETAIL/ CONSUMER RECLAIMER MATERIAL MANUFACTURER SCRAP PARTS & MATERIALS PROCESSOR

Recycle Solutions Improves the mechanical performance of mixed PP/PE streams Design for Recycling

There are two types of recycled content: post-consumer recycled (PCR) or post-industrial recycled (PIR). Due to the commingled nature of the recycled stream for PCR raw material, the application will typically need to be a darker color such as black or dark gray Uncolored TPEs are naturally dark (typically in gray or brown), based on assorted colors from recycle streams 

Home // Using Post-Consumer Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging Closures However, manufacturers are incorporating more post-consumer recycled (PCR) content to meet sustainability goals. There is also a shift from polypropylene (PP) to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) closures, where post-consumer resin is more readily available.

Aliphatic polyketone, often referred to as just polyketone or PK, is a semi-crystalline engineering resin that is an alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethylene with some propylene (1–10%). Interestingly, perfectly alternating polyketone copolymer results in a highly crystalline material that is very difficult to process.
