Fortunately, there are a number of options available to help you effectively use PCR in closure applications.

Engineered Polymer Services Although replacing virgin material with more eco-conscious options may present some challenges, a growing number of eco-conscious polymers offer on-par performance for many applications.

In some cases, they can reduce the number of manufacturing steps or allow parts to be combined via overmolding.
