Post Consumer Recycling
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials come from a wide variety of plastic products, such as food packaging, consumer goods, bags, toys, and electronics, that have reached the end of their useful life. These plastics can include PP, HDPE, LDPE, PS, ABS, and others.
PCR materials are typically collected through various recycling programs and must be properly washed and dried before being processed into pellets on pelletizing lines. Once recycled, the plastic pellets are used to manufacture new products based on their physical properties.

How to Recycle Post-Consumer Plastic Waste?
To recycle post-consumer plastic, these materials must first go through previous sorting, shredding, washing, and drying lines. Once the materials have been properly cleaned they can be placed into pelletizing machines to transform the plastic waste into pellets.
For many producers, recycling postconsumer plastics has become an ideal way to increase the amount of recycled materials used in their production.
Our Solution for Post-Consumer Waste
POLYSTAR’s high efficiency, one-step PCR recycling machine is designed for the reprocessing of PCR plastic waste.
This pelletizing system is designed to work with washed, post-consumer materials. The cutter compactor, which generates frictional heat during the compacting process, which helps to further dry and remove the water moisture from the washed film flakes (processed first by the washing lines). The additional degassing and filtration units on the machine help achieve high-quality recycled pellets.
