Increasing PCR
especially can be tricky, but here are some
considerations for achieving those higher
percentages:
• Using more PCR can affect the color of
your package as PCR streams can vary
from region to region.
Super concentrates
can give greater flexibility in coloring
higher levels of PCR than traditional
masterbatches, and can be used in a multi-
layer bottle construction
We will consider the type and percentage of
PCR you are using, and will also work with you on
your targeted let-down ratio (LDR) and the color or
special effect you want to attain.
