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:

Recycled HDPE

Greif's EcoBalance drum is made using approximately 50-75% recycled HDPE obtained from post-consumer resin (PCR).

You Can Make an Impact

Using PCR materials helps reduce the demand for virgin raw materials, which in turn decreases the environmental footprint associated with extraction and processing. This contributes to conservation efforts and reduces the overall environmental impact of the packaging industry.
