What is PCR packaging bag?

PCR packaging bag "refers to" Post Consumer Recycled packaging bags ".

Background and Definition

PCR materials are materials recovered from products used by consumers. In the packaging industry, using PCR materials to make packaging bags is a sustainable packaging solution. These packaging bags come from a wide range of raw materials, such as recycled plastic bottles, plastic films, etc., which are processed through a series of processes to create new packaging materials.

Material sources and processing procedures

Material sources: Common sources include used food packaging, beverage bottles, and packaging for daily chemical products. Taking plastic bottles as an example, when consumers discard them, they are collected and separated into different types of plastics (such as PET, HDPE, etc.) through a sorting and recycling system.

Processing process: Firstly, collection and classification are carried out to remove impurities such as labels and bottle caps. Then clean and crush the material into small particles. These particles are then melted, extruded, and processed into new plastic films for use in making packaging bags.

Characteristics and advantages

Environmental benefits: Using PCR packaging bags can help reduce dependence on raw materials such as plastic and lower resource consumption. At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure of waste on the environment, as recycling extends the life cycle of materials. For example, if a large amount of PCR material is used to make packaging bags, it can reduce the amount of non renewable resources such as oil used to produce new plastics.

Market value and brand image: For businesses, using this type of packaging bag meets the growing environmental awareness needs of consumers. Consumers are more inclined to choose products with environmentally friendly packaging, so using PCR packaging bags can help enhance the brand's environmental image and strengthen market competitiveness.

In the field of daily necessities, environmentally friendly packaging bags can also be used for products such as shampoo and shower gel. In addition, in the e-commerce industry, there is a trend of using PCR materials in the express packaging bags of many products to reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment.
