➣ Post-consumer resin derives from end-user waste (e.g., packaging), while post-industrial comes from manufacturing scrap. PCR carries greater environmental benefits but presents more processing challenges.
➣ PET leads with 38% market share, driven by bottle-to-bottle recycling programs. HDPE follows at 28%, primarily from container and pipe recycling.
➣ Leading companies invest in advanced sorting technologies, quality control systems, and polymer testing to ensure consistent performance characteristics.
➣ Key policies include extended producer responsibility laws, recycled content mandates, and plastic tax schemes incentivizing PCR use.
➣ Automated sorting, AI-based quality control, and decontamination processes enhance yield and reduce production costs.
