Understanding Recycled PC Pellets
Recycled PC pellets (rPC) are post-consumer or post-industrial polycarbonate materials that have been collected, processed, and reconstituted into reusable plastic pellets for manufacturing applications.
Types of rPC Materials
- PCR PC: Post-consumer recycled polycarbonate
- PIR PC: Post-industrial recycled polycarbonate
- rPC/ABS Blend: Mixed recycled polycarbonate and ABS
- Glass Fiber rPC: Reinforced recycled polycarbonate
Applications
- Electronic device housings
- LED lighting components
- Automotive interior parts
- Medical device enclosures
- Optical lenses and displays
Environmental Benefits
- Reduces virgin plastic production
- Lower carbon footprint
- Decreases landfill waste
- Conserves fossil resources
