Processing PCR: How It's Done At a Leading PET Bottle Maker

摘要

Many food and beverage companies are either using or thinking about using recycled materials in their packaging. In addition to enhancing brand equity, using post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics has a number of environmental benefits. Recycling reduces the amount of plastic sent to landfills, and using PCR helps support the recycling infrastructure. Using recycled PET means that less petroleum is needed to make new, virgin resin. Recycled PET also requires less energy to produce and has a lower carbon footprint than virgin PET.
