What exactly are PCR and PIR materials?How to achieve recycling and reuse？
1. What are PCR materials?
PCR material is actually a kind of “recycled plastic”, the full name is Post-Consumer Recycled material, that is, post-consumer recycled material.
PCR materials are “extremely valuable”. Usually, waste plastics generated after circulation, consumption and use can be turned into extremely valuable industrial production raw materials after being crushed by a plastic crusher and then granulated by a plastic granulator, realizing resource regeneration and recycling. .
For example, recycled materials such as PET, PE, PP, HDPE, etc. come from the waste plastics produced by commonly used lunch boxes, shampoo bottles, mineral water bottles, washing machine barrels, etc., which are crushed by a plastic crusher and then granulated by a plastic granulator. Plastic raw materials that can be used to make new packaging materials.
2. What is PIR material?
PIR, the full name is Post-Industrial Recycled material, which is industrial plastic recycling. Its source is generally sprue materials, sub-brands, defective products, etc. produced when injection molding products in factories. Materials generated during industrial production processes or processes are commonly known as sprue materials, scrap. Factories can purchase plastic crushers to directly crush and plastic granulators granulate them for direct use in product production. The factories can recycle and reuse it themselves. It truly saves energy, reduces consumption and carbon emissions, and at the same time increases profit margins for the factory.
Therefore, from the perspective of recycling volume, PCR plastic has an absolute advantage in quantity; in terms of reprocessing quality, PIR plastic has an absolute advantage.
What are the advantages of recycled plastic?
According to the source of recycled plastics, recycled plastics can be divided into PCR and PIR.
Strictly speaking, both PCR and PIR plastics are recycled plastics that have been mentioned in the rubber and plastic circles.
