The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), an international trade association that represents the plastics recycling industry, introduced a post-consumer resin certification program. This effort is aimed at helping increase the supply and demand of post-consumer recycled plastics. Post-consumer resin (PCR) certification needs to be reliable, consistent, and accessible by both the producers and the users of recycled plastic resins, the association said.
The association’s members include independent recycling companies that process resins, equipment manufacturers, testing laboratories, organizations committed to plastics recycling, and a number of consumer product companies such as Danone, Nestlé USA, PepsiCo, SC Johnson, and Unilever.
Because California Senate Bill 270 says that reusable bags distributed or sold in California must meet certain standards, including recycled content, the association said that any plastic reclaimer’s PCR certified under those state requirements will be considered certified PCR. “The APR PCR Certification Program promotes the critical link between the reclaimer actually making PCR and the customer wanting to use PCR,” the association said.
