Recycled Polymers
rHDPE PIR Colored — Recycled High-Density Polyethylene Post-Industrial Recycled Colored
This grade consists of recycled HDPE sourced from industrial manufacturing scrap, often colored. Its consistent quality from a controlled source makes it ideal for rigid packaging and non-food contact articles where specific colors are required.
