With recycling technology advancements, chemical recycling illuminates the quality of post-consumer plastics for skincare packaging applications.

What is CRR?

Chemical recycling is a process of decomposing plastic waste into a monomer state, then used for producing polymer plastics. Compared to mechanical recycling methods, chemical recycling prevents the deterioration of plastic while enabling recycling in a repeated manner.

Chemical recycling resin is an eco-friendly copolyester of high transparency that is PET-compatible and certified for compatibility with RIC 1 recycling stream.

Benefits of using chemical recycling resin

✔ Transparency and Clarity

✔ Chemical resistance

✔ Certified for compatibility with RIC 1 recycling stream

✔ Low crystallization rate for thick wall design

✔ FDA, efsa, JHOSPA, approved for food contact

✔ Complies with European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC: on packaging & packaging waste

Is CRR also PCR?

PCR is Post-Consumer Recycling resin, and it can be chemical recycling or mechanical recycling.

SR Packaging has dedicated its packaging development based on PCR solution for nearly two decades, using mechanical recycling resin. With the technology improvement, chemical recycling resin is now available for mass production scale and enables PCR packaging with better plastic clarity of repeating material usage to realize circular economy.

CRR Packaging Options?

Chemical recycling resin available for mass production in SR Packaging is PET plastic.

Browse the SR Packaging catalog and find a suitable PET bottle & jar, thick-wall or heavy-wall bottle & jar for the next skincare line, or contact sales@srpackaging.com for more design possibilities.
