What Are PCR and PIR Materials

  1. What is the PCR material?

PCR material is actually a kind of “Post-Consumer Recycled Material”. PCR materials are “extremely valuable”. The waste plastics produced after circulation, consumption and use can be turned into valuable industrial raw materials through physical or chemical recovery, realizing resource regeneration and recycling.

Such as PET, PE, PP, HDPE and other recycled materials, from the commonly used lunch boxes, shampoo bottles, mineral water bottles, washing machine barrels produced by the waste plastic, after reprocessing, can be used to make new packaging materials of plastic raw materials.

Because PCR materials come from consumption, if not properly treated, is bound to have the most direct impact on the environment, so PCR is one of the recycled plastics recommended by all brands at present.

 

  1. What is PIR material?

PIR, the full name of post-industrial Recycled material, namely, Industrial plastic recycling, its source is generally generated when the factory injection products nozzle, sub-brand, defective products, etc., because of Industrial production process or process generated materials, commonly known as nozzle material, waste. Straight from the factory, recycled.

In terms of recycling amount, PCR plastic has absolute advantage in quantity. As far as reprocessing quality is concerned, PIR plastic has absolute advantage.

 

Strictly speaking, both PCR and PIR plastics are recycled plastics that have been mentioned in rubber and plastic circles.

 

  1. Why PCR plastic “favored”?

a. PCR plastics is one of the important directions to reduce plastic pollution and contribute to “carbon neutrality”

Through the unremitting efforts of generations of chemists and engineers, plastics produced from petroleum, coal and natural gas have become essential materials for human life because of their light weight, durability and beauty. However, the extensive use of plastic also leads to the production of a large amount of plastic waste. Post-consumption recycling (PCR) of plastics has become one of the important directions to reduce plastic environmental pollution and help the chemical industry to move towards “carbon neutrality”.

 

b. Use of PCR plastics to further promote waste plastic recycling

The more companies that use PCR plastic, the greater the demand, which will further improve the recycling of waste plastic, but also gradually change the recycling model and business operation of waste plastic, meaning that less waste plastic is buried, burned and in the natural environment.

c. Policies to promote

The policy space for PCR plastics is opening up.

Take Europe for example, the EU plastic strategy, the UK and Germany and other countries plastic and packaging tax legislation. UK Revenue and Customs, for example, has introduced a “plastic packaging tax” of £200 per tonne for packaging of less than 30% recycled plastic. Through taxation and policies, the demand space for PCR plastics has been opened.

Numbers and Letters on the Bottom of Plastic Bottles

With the improvement of living standard, plastic plays a more significant role in our life. However, the frequently exposed quality problems of plastic products make people full of doubts about the safety of the most exposed “plastic” in their daily life.

As ordinary consumers of us, how to distinguish the quality of plastic bottles, choose safe and reliable products?

The Society of Plastics Industry (SPI) has a logo code for the type of plastic used in Plastics. It’s a three-arrow “Recycling logo” with a number and an acronym to indicate the type of plastic. The SPI logo scheme is now used in many countries around the world. China set almost identical standards in 1996.

  1. PETE stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a material commonly used in water bottles and carbonated drinks.

Use: heat resistant to 70℃, only suitable for warm or frozen drinks, high temperature or heating deformation, and harmful substances. Prolonged exposure may also release the carcinogenic DEHP.

Suggestion: Do not recycle beverage bottles, do not hold hot water or use them as storage containers for other items.

2. HDPE stands for high density polyethylene.

Usage: it is commonly used in cleaning products, bath products, white medicine bottles, etc. At present, plastic bags used in supermarkets and shopping malls are mostly made of this material.

Features: can withstand 110℃ high temperature, marked with food plastic bags can be used to contain food.

3. PVC: polyvinyl chloride

Application: plastic pipe, raincoat, plastic film, etc.

Features: Strong plasticity, low price. Heat resistance to 80℃, high temperature is easy to produce hydrogen chloride, into the human body, may cause breast cancer, newborn birth defects and other diseases.

Suggestion: Use sparingly in packaged foods. If in use, never allow it to get hot.

4. LDPE: low density polyethylene

Use: plastic film, etc.

Features: heat resistance is not strong, over 110℃ will appear hot melt phenomenon, easy to be dissolved by oil.

Advice: Don’t microwave crayfish wrapped in plastic wrap, and wear layers of gloves to prevent oil from seeping into your hands.

5. PP (polypropylene)

Usage: it is the only plastic box that can be put into microwave oven.

Features: can withstand temperature above 100℃.

Suggestion: some microwave lunch boxes, the box body is no. 5 PP, but the lid is made of no. 1 PE, PE can not withstand high temperature, so to be safe, the container into the microwave, should take off the lid.

6. PS (Polystyrene)

Usage: It is used to make instant noodle box and snack box.

Properties: 70-90 degrees heat resistance, hot drinks or acid and alkali will produce toxins.

Suggestion: Avoid strong acid (such as orange juice) or strong alkaline substances due to high temperature when using.

7. PC and other classes.

Usage: baby bottle. It’s controversial because it contains bisphenol A. In theory, as long as in the process of making PC, 100 percent of bisphenol A is converted into plastic structure, it means that the product is completely free of bisphenol A, let alone released.

What We Do Before A Live Stream？

To increase sales and expand sales channels, our company began to do live show on August. Our foreign trade department plan to have 4 times in August, and have 8 times in September. But do you want to know what we do to prepare a live stream? Whatever your answer is, I’d like to tell what we do before a live show?

First, confirm a topic. Every live stream should have a topic or a theme, which is what we talk about. The last three topic of our live stream are New Products of Our Company, In Stock Goods of Our Products and Introduction of Our Office. And about more live show, we are still think about the topic.

Second, create a live stream link and choose suitable items. Cause we have already confirmed a topic, it is easy to choose suitable items. Usually we take 2 pieces for each item and let them in different color, different crafts, and different pump. After putting them group by group, we need popularize this link to social media and welcome our customers to watch this live stream.

Third, we need to prepare what we would talk and have a rehearsal. Cause we need to judge the probable problem during the live stream.

 

And then, we are all already to have a live stream!

The Introduction of PCR Products

Definition: Post Consumer Recycle(PCR) is the recycled product of waste created by consumer

 

1. How is PCR plastic made?

The production of PCR plastics starts with the collection of post-consumer waste. Through specialised sorting (manual or otherwise), thorough cleaning and reheating and grinding, the PCR granule is produced. This granulate is then used to make new products.

 

 

2. How PCR Plastics are Used

PCR plastics can be used to make similar materials, such as PET bottles for beverages. While some repurposed plastics can become too brittle and weak for use, they can be mixed with virgin materials to strengthen them. This doesn’t eliminate the need for new materials but helps reduce the amount of new plastic needed. In some cases, however, you are able to turn used plastics into pellets, which can then be used to make durable, FDA-approved materials again. Should your recycled plastics become too weak to use for stronger types of packaging, you can recycle it into other forms of packaging for use, such as plastic bags or coverings.

 

 

3. What is the advantage of PCR plastic over virgin plastic?

Reuse of plastic that has already been made is not only a cost-effective process, but also a waste reduction process. In addition, processing the used plastic requires less water, less fossil fuels and less energy. The use of PCR also has indirect benefits. All the benefits are listed below:

 

Less use of fossil resources

Reduction of CO2 emissions up to 85%

Less water consumption

Less energy consumption

Reduction of the amount of waste

Can be recycled after use

 

 

4. What Are the Drawbacks to PCR Resin?

The most common complaints around PCR resins are occasional black flecks, grey/yellow tinting, and gels in the material. Even so, when used in the correct application such as ag films or trash bags, these minor defects do not affect the overall function of the product and are strictly cosmetic. While PCR resins may be subject to slight variations in color, this can be overcome by choosing a reliable provider.

 

 

5. Positive Environmental Benefits？

Virgin resins such were originally processed from fossil fuels and turned into plastics. When these PCR resins are reused and transformed into new products, new fossil fuels are not required, which has exponential environmental implications.

 

According to data from the Environmental Protection Agency, recycled plastics account for far less environmental impact than their virgin counterparts. As a matter of fact, many studies suggest  recycled plastics contain over 25% less green house/carbon gas emissions than virgin resins. The more PCR resins you include in your products, the higher impact you can make on saving the environment.

 

 

6. How Does the Price of PCR Resin Compare to Virgin Resin?

In the past, the cost of post consumer resin has been a bit higher than new virgin resins. This can be attributed to the extensive cleaning, sorting, and processing required to recapture the recycled resins.

 

As the overall cost of petroleum-based raw materials continually increases — however — the cost of PCR resins are projected to stay the same. In addition, when more consumers recycle plastics, the law of supply and demand will keep PCR resins extremely attractive in comparison to virgin resins.
