About the Product Family
Our M·CYCLOSE® compounds contain recycled materials. 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, using recycled material can reduce the proportion of virgin material in the respective compound.
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 specify the origin and the percentage of recycled material for each compound.

Manufacturers collect car taillights that were not manufactured correctly and, once processed, we use them in some of our M·CYCLOSE® recyclates.
Recycled PMMA from the automotive industry
During the manufacture of car tail lights, parts are produced that do not meet the specifications – such as initial production parts, rejects or missing parts. These parts from industrial production (PIR) are sorted by type and recycled.
In our M·CYCLOSE® PMMA compounds, we use this recycled PMMA sourced from industrial waste streams. Further details on the recycled content and the respective material composition are specified for each individual product.
