Post-consumer recycled resins or plastics are obtained by recycling the plastic waste collected from consumers, including bottles, containers, films and foams. Post-consumer plastic waste management covers recycling, recovery, and disposal of plastic waste collected from the consumers. Waste management systems across globle ensure the safe collection, segregation, storage, transportation, processing, and disposal of generated plastic waste. These systems also ensure that no harm is caused to the environment and the process is undertaken as per government rules, regulations and standards.
According to O. Berk Company (US), "Post-consumer resin (PCR) is an environmentally friendly packaging option that many manufacturers are using in support of recycling programs, consumer demand, and to reduce their impact on landfills." It further states that PCR plastics are recycled from existing PET bottles and other plastics.
According to Emmerson Packaging (Canada), "PCR is the technical term for plastic that has already been recycled and is ready to use again. It begins with the collection and sorting of recycled products-plastic bottles, for example. These bottles are then separated from other plastics, washed, and cleaned of all other materials (for example, the labels, bottle tops, etc.). The recycled plastic is then extruded and. reprocessed into PCR.
