Want to Know More

Post-consumer recycled content is made from materials that have been used and discarded by consumers and then collected, processed, and transformed into new products or materials. This helps divert waste from landfills and reduces the demand for virgin resources. It differs from post-industrial or pre-consumer recycled content, which comes from manufacturing scraps or material that never reached consumers. By using post-consumer content, companies support a circular economy, close the recycling loop, and demonstrate sustainable production and consumption practices.
