While PCR plastic offers a sustainable packaging option, it’s essential to be aware of some potential drawbacks:
– Colour and Clarity: PCR plastic can sometimes affect the final product’s colour and clarity. This is because the recycling process may not fully remove all impurities or pigments from the original plastic. The higher the percentage of PCR content used, the greater the potential impact on colour and clarity.
– Potential for Quality Degradation: Multiple recycling cycles can degrade the quality of plastic. The molecular chains that make up plastic shorten with each reprocessing, potentially leading to reduced strength and durability.
