With our Post-Consumer product programme for injection moulding, you have the possibility to produce high-quality products from recycled plastic based on post-consumer plastic without compromising on product quality and production efficiency.
“Post-Consumer” means that the plastic comes from a product that has already “had a life” through, for example, previous use in the retail industry and/or other commercial companies. In everyday speech, the Post-Consumer Recyclate is referred to as PCR.
