Recycled plastics

Our M·CYCLOSE® compounds contain a proportion of raw materials that are reused. These recycled materials either come from products that have already completed a life cycle with consumers (PCR = Post Consumer Recyclate), or from waste products from industry, such as start-up materials from plastics processing (PIR = Post Industrial Recyclate). In both cases, the recyclate replaces virgin material made from traditional petroleum-based plastic and thus contributes to improving CO₂ footprint of the materials, reduces waste streams and minimises the amount of energy required.

Our M·CYCLOSE® materials contain varying proportions of 'post-consumer' or 'post-industrial' recyclates. These recyclates are used in our compounds either as a base material or as a filler. We indicate the origin and the proportion of recyclate.
