The film is 100% recyclable in the LDPE04 cycle and is available in many different thicknesses. Depending on your requirements, we supply this film pre-perforated, hot-needled, printed and in the roll lengths you require. The advantages of high-quality films from Schlichter GmbH are particularly evident in the area of high cycle numbers and high packaging rates.

PCR film – what exactly is it?

Basically, the term PCR stands for “post-consumer recyclate”. PCR recyclate is material recovered from plastic waste from the recycling loop that is collected and recycled after use by the consumer. The use of these materials is a challenge for waste management due to their different qualities, and one that is being continuously improved. On the one hand, it is important to make optimum use of recyclates and, on the other, to improve the delivery of materials by consumers.

The use of PCR recyclate has many advantages. For example, the use of PCR recyclate leads to a reduction in waste, conservation of natural resources, energy savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions.

We at Schlichter GmbH already offer you packaging films of the highest quality for all requirements and every need.
We will be happy to advise you on the right application for you.
