EcoBalance PCR Plastic Drum
PCR plastic puts circularity into action
EcoBalance Plastic drums are a product line of industrial containers made from post-consumer recycled resin (PCR), significantly reducing the need to use virgin resin. Post-consumer recycled content refers to materials that have been used by consumers and then collected, recycled, and repurposed into new products. In the context of packaging, PCR is used to create packaging materials from recycled plastics, paper, metal, and other materials that have completed their lifecycle as consumer products.
Additional Features/Options:
- Made using 50-75% recycled HDPE obtained from post-consumer containers
- Requires less energy to be manufactured
- Diverts materials are headed to landfills by repurposing them into new products
