PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics are made from plastic waste that has been collected from consumer products and recycled. These plastics are mainly derived from PET bottles, HDPE bottles, and LDPE films. For food-grade waste plastic recycling, PET bottle recycling is a major development trend in the waste plastic recycling industry. The process of recycling and washing PCR plastics involves several steps, including washing, grinding, pelletizing, and SSP (Solid State Polymerization) to produce food-grade recycled flakes and pellets that meet FDA or EFSA certification.

The global brands announced they would give up using virgin plastics in their products, which means more recycled plastics and rPET is required in markets. More than 60 brands and retailers have set corresponding reduction targets on the use of virgin plastic. The new commitment proposes that by 2025, the absolute benefit of virgin plastic will be reduced by nearly 20% compared with 2018.

The global PET bottle recycling rate is approximately 50%, but it still needs to be improved. With restrictions on the import and export of plastic waste in various countries around the world, the local plastic recycling model is imperative. The demand usage for recycled PET by global brands has increased, so the recycling rate of waste PET must be increased year by year.
