At Bostik, we work towards increased sustainability on all fronts, and we are always on the hunt for materials that keep our products safe, sustainable, and efficient.
With our post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) packaging for buckets, cartridges, and bottles, we have taken another step towards that ambition. Our grey buckets and cartridges are made with at least 30% recycled plastic - thus avoiding the use of 310 tonnes* of virgin plastic since 2021.
*Volumes are calculated for buckets, cartridges, and bottles for 2021 and 2022.
What is PCR?
PCR stands for Post-Consumer Resin. It is plastic (resin) that has been recycled after customer use (post-consumer). PCR is recycled plastic we get from the recycling of existing types of plastic like PET bottles, PP yogurt containers or HDPE shampoo bottles, all of which are popular options for product packaging.
These materials are collected, sorted, cleaned then processed into a resin, used to create new packaging.
