Pet PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled plastic specifically referring to recycled materials used in pet products. It’s most commonly encountered with PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastics, the kind typically used for water bottles and food containers.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Post-consumer recycled: This means the plastic comes from items you’ve already used and recycled, like water bottles or food trays, instead of virgin plastic derived from fossil fuels.
- PET: This is the type of plastic most often used for pet products made with PCR.
So, a pet product made with PET PCR is made from recycled plastic materials, giving plastic waste a second life and reducing reliance on new plastic production. It’s an environmentally friendly choice!
