100% rPET conversion saved 1,200 t virgin plastic/year
1,200 t virgin plastic eliminated annually; brand met its 2025 PCR commitment 18 months early
Problem. European personal-care brand committed publicly to 100% PCR by 2025 but was stuck at 35%. Their incumbent molder could not meet color and dimensional spec on PCR resin batches with >10% variance.
Solution. Set up a dedicated PCR qualification line: every incoming batch is MFI-tested, color-matched, and odor-screened before release to production. Re-cut two tools with revised gating to handle the higher-viscosity rPET. Process now runs 100% PCR with <2% rejection.
