Post-consumer recycled plastic bag – PCR plastic bag

The sustainability of products and production processes is a key consumer concern. Traditional plastics, if not recycled, end up in landfills, rivers, and oceans, posing a threat to the flora and fauna in these ecosystems due to their lack of or complex biodegradability. An important way to address plastic pollution is to recycle plastic products used by consumers. Post-consumer recycled plastic is called PCR plastic. Shunxingyuan Packaging provides rigorously vetted and certified, truly PCR materials that can help you quickly implement post-consumer recycled plastic bags (PCR) replacement.

1. PCR （ Post Consumer Recycled ）Recycled plastic bags

Shunxingyuan Recycling

Post-consumer recycled plastic bags ( PCR ) refer to recyclable plastic bags made from materials collected through recycling channels from households or commercial, industrial, and organizational institutions after use as end products by consumers, and which cannot be used for their original purpose. These materials are then sorted, cleaned, pelletized, and blown into film. This includes plastics returned from the logistics distribution chain, such as used food and daily chemical packaging, household goods, appliances, automotive dismantling, waste bottles, and ton bags, etc.

2、 PCR Application Trends of Recycled Plastic Bags

Common Recyclable Materials

Given that current plastic production trends are considered quite unsustainable, PCR plastic is definitely the direction of the future and is a priority for many brands today. Unlike virgin plastics, PCR plastic prices are more stable because most waste is not affected by fluctuations in oil prices.

Generally speaking, due to the inevitable heterogeneity of waste plastics, products made from PCR plastic are often of lower quality than those made from virgin plastics. However, Shunxingyuan Packaging produces high-quality PCR recycled plastic bag products, with industry advantages such as diverse bag types, transparency, powder-free, easy opening, recyclability, and clear and firm printing. Furthermore, Shunxingyuan Packaging's GRS certification covers different recycled material ratios and materials, 30% RECYCLED、50% RECYCLED、70% RECYCLED、100% RECYCLED many ratios for you to choose from, and also LDPE 、 HDPE 、 PPE 、 CPE 、 PP 、PE/PE and many other materials, as well as films, adhesive bags, bone-attached bags, zipper bags, bellows bags, flat bags, vacuum bags, wire bags, hook bags, button bags, card head bags, paper card bags, hook bags, shrink film, stretch film, express bags, and many other bag types to meet the requirements of different customers for recycled plastic bags.

Currently, public awareness is a powerful driving force, and more and more consumers prefer to use environmentally friendly products. And the representative of environmentally friendly packaging PCR plastic bags, are undoubtedly becoming increasingly important.

Recyclable Plastic Classification

Post-consumer recycled plastic bags are receiving increasing attention in sustainable material choices. In the face of imminent environmental threats, the plastics industry is gradually reshaping itself to consider environmental and economic sustainability. Plastic materials processed from post-consumer sources are now not only a necessity but also a reality.

PCR Raw materials mainly come from various parts of Europe and America, and these wastes are transported in large quantities from Europe and America to Asia. Shunxingyuan Packaging and its cooperating raw material suppliers jointly develop, from water resource management, energy management, occupational health and safety requirements, REACH 、 Rohs and residual waste treatment, traceability, etc., to carry out in-depth cooperation, which can not only meet the large-scale demand of many brands for PCR recycled plastic bags, but also ensure PCR that materials flow to the market in a safe and responsible manner.
