GC, The Leader manufacturer of Recycled Plastic Resin in Thailand
Aug Wed 2024
The plastics industry has recognized the need to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment. We have developed a unique solution that makes plastics more eco-friendly, greatly reduces plastic waste, and may reduce the cost of manufacturing the resin needed for food-grade containers and plastic bottles.
We have introduced post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) into our high technology manufacturing process to produce plastic recycle resin for producing PET water bottles, food grade plastic containers and home & personal care plastic packaging. We’re certain that using recycled plastic resin will become attractive to food and beverage packaging manufacturers as they can help contribute to the life cycle of plastic resin in Thailand and gain a positive public image.
Life Cycle of Resin
This life cycle of PCR resin begins with the collection and sorting of different plastic products. PET bottles and HDPE resin containers are cleaned and stripped of labels and bottle tops. The plastic is then shredded, extruded, and reprocessed in PCR PET and HDPE resin.
Working Together
PCR resins contain a blend of resins that would otherwise be discarded and end up in a landfill or our natural environment. The goal of recycled resin is to reach the same quality as virgin resins. The recycled resin is closely monitored to keep the minor variations in color and quality within the acceptable guidelines of the customer. Choosing and working together with reputable suppliers that understand the importance of maintaining the PCR life cycle assures us of maintaining our PCR resin standards. By convincing manufacturers to design these PCR PET bottles and HDPE containers to support the life cycle of the resin, we begin to reduce the level of variations in the resin and raise its overall quality.
Post- Consumer Recycled Resins Are the Way Forward
PCR plastic resins can be reused many times with a reduced environmental impact. This makes them an ideal sustainable material. The current awareness of the harm being done to the environment makes PCR resins an attractive alternative to virgin resins to many manufacturers and their loyal customers. The manufacturers gain a positive public image with no loss in quality of their bottles and containers. Their customers can feel good about supporting an ecologically aware manufacturer.
