PCR plastic: post-consumer and post-industrial recycled resin
PCR - post-consumer recycled - plastic is made from products that consumers used and threw away. Here are the PCR and post-industrial offers from US sellers on Scrapo.
PCR, post-consumer recyclate and post-industrial recycled
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, also called post-consumer recyclate, comes from products that reached a consumer and were discarded - bottles, containers, film, packaging. It is what most recycled-content targets and claims refer to.
Post-industrial recycled (PIR), also called post-industrial recycle or pre-consumer, comes from manufacturing - trim, start-up purge, off-spec parts - and never reached a consumer. It is usually cleaner and more consistent than PCR, and usually cheaper to qualify, but it does not count toward post-consumer content requirements.

Questions
What is PCR plastic?
PCR plastic is post-consumer recycled plastic: material recovered from products consumers have used and discarded, then sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into flake, pellets or sheet. PCR resin is that material in pellet form, ready for a moulder or extruder to run.
What does post-consumer recyclate mean?
The same thing as post-consumer recycled: plastic recovered after consumer use. "Recyclate" is the reprocessed material itself.
What is post-industrial recycled plastic?
Plastic recovered from manufacturing before it ever reached a consumer - trim, runners, purge, off-spec production. It is generally more consistent than PCR because its history is known.
Where can I buy PCR resin?
US sellers list PCR pellets, flake and regrind on Scrapo, each with the polymer, grade, quantity and price. Ask a supplier for the melt flow, colour, contamination level and the source of the material, and for a sample before committing to volume.
How do I sell scrap plastic in the United States?
Post a listing: the polymer, the form, the quantity, your price per pound or per ton or price on request, and where it ships from. Posting is free, and buyers looking for that material contact you directly.
