Recycled Polymers
rHDPE PCR Natural — Recycled High-Density Polyethylene Post-Consumer Recycled Natural
This grade is derived from collected post-consumer HDPE waste, processed to a natural, unpigmented form. It maintains many of the excellent properties of virgin HDPE, making it a sustainable choice for various applications where color is not a primary requirement.
