SOLUTION BULLETIN Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service A Digital Tool to Support PCR Resin Coloration CHALLENGES IN COLORING PCR With rising EU-wide targets to incorporate greater quantities of recycled plastics in packaging items, solutions are required that improve the quality of the recyclate so that higher quantities of PCR can be utilized within a circular economy approach. Inconsistent streams mean that PCR resin quality varies from virgin to recycled or from recycled to recycled, creating color deviation for existing products. This, in turn, creates issues for convertors and brands who need to achieve consistent product quality across product lines, regions and markets.
