Luxus Blog // The Benefits of Using PCR Compounds in Injection Moulding Processes

As a leading manufacturer of high-quality thermoplastics from prime and recycled polymers, we understand the importance of sustainability in the plastics industry. One of the key solutions Luxus offers in this regard is our range of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) compounds, which are ideal for use in injection moulding processes. In this blog,  Luxus explores how PCR compounds support sustainable injection moulding, reduce environmental impact, and provide cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to virgin plastics.

What are PCR Compounds?

PCR compounds are plastic materials that are derived from recycled post-consumer waste, such as bottles, containers, and packaging. These materials are collected, sorted, cleaned, and processed into high-quality compounds that can be used in various manufacturing processes, including injection moulding.

Benefits of Using PCR Compounds in Injection Moulding

Environmental Sustainability: By using PCR compounds, manufacturers can reduce their reliance on virgin plastics, which are derived from non-renewable resources like oil and natural gas. This helps to minimise the environmental impact of plastic production and promote a circular economy.

Cost Savings: PCR compounds are often more cost-effective than virgin plastics, as they are made from recycled materials. This can result in significant cost savings for manufacturers, particularly those producing large volumes of plastic products.

Consistent Quality: Luxus’ PCR compounds are engineered to meet the same high standards as virgin plastics, ensuring consistent quality and performance in the injection moulding process. Our advanced compounding techniques and stringent quality control measures ensure that our PCR compounds meet the required specifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Many countries and industries have regulations and initiatives in place to promote the use of recycled materials and reduce plastic waste. By using PCR compounds, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and compliance with these regulations.

Improved Public Perception: Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of environmental issues and are more likely to support companies that prioritise sustainability. By using PCR compounds, manufacturers can enhance their brand image and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

Luxus offers a wide range of PCR compounds suitable for various applications, including automotive, civil engineering, packaging, waste containers, and many more. Our technical expertise and advanced facilities ensure that our PCR compounds meet the highest standards of quality and performance, making them an excellent choice for injection moulding processes.
