Recycled Polymers
rHDPE PCR Colored (Blue) — Recycled High-Density Polyethylene Post-Consumer Recycled Colored (Blue)
This grade is derived from collected post-consumer HDPE waste, processed into a consistent blue color. It offers the robust chemical resistance and durability of HDPE, making it a sustainable choice for detergent bottles, chemical containers, and industrial bins where blue is a standard color.
