What is the difference between PIR and PCR

PIR is an abbreviation for Post Industrial Recycled and is the raw material made from waste generated within the industry. PCR is an abbreviation for Post Consumer Recycled and is the raw material made from waste from the consumer/end user.

EcoPlas are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

Due to increasing interest in the use of recycled material in packaging, there is an increasing demand for PIR and PCR. KIVO is able to supply both PIR and PCR.

    RecycledPlasticsSeries: 1. Differences between PCR & PIR

    Defining the differences between PCR & PIR is critical to the entire plastic recycling operation. 

    Plastic packaging manufacturers or converters are increasingly pressured to incorporate recycled plastics in their products today.

    Take the recent PPT announcement by the UK Government.

    While on the other side of the globe, the McGowan Government announced their fast-tracked Western Australia’s Plan for Plastics on 13 June 2021.

    Sustainability is becoming inherently critical for businesses. Not just for branding but also business continuity and profitability.

    However, customers like brand owners and packagers are still very concerned with costing and profits in this competitive market.

    That is fair. Business is business.

    Some of the concerns revolve around.

    • How does the presence of recycled materials affect the mechanical properties of plastic packaging?

    • Can recycled plastics perform as well as virgin plastics packaging?

    • Can recycled plastic packaging achieve the same quality functions as plastics made from virgin resins?

    • Will using recycled materials packaging keep my cost low?

    • How do manufacturers achieve our film requirements?

    These concerns are real. 

    Thong Guan would like to address some of these through our latest article series—#RecycledPlasticSeries.

    In the first article of the series, we want to address the nitty-gritty of introductions.

    Plastic, a valuable material

    Plastic is a commodity today.

    Imagine packaging your products with other materials besides plastics.

    They were invented in 1907 for a reason—or many reasons that grew over the years.

    Here are some of the critical advantages of plastics over other alternatives we’ve shared during our #LiveGreen Launch.
