Recycled plastic granules

Circo® recycled plastic granules are a sustainable solution to replace virgin plastics. Post-consumer plastic-based Circo recycled plastic is a versatile raw material that is available in basic grades: PP, HDPE and LDPE and in customised compounds to accommodate other requirements in terms of technical and environmental properties.

 

Circo® recycled plastic compounds

Circo® compounds are made of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and supplemented with selected additives to improve the technical and environmental properties of the material. Compounds offer improved properties, such as higher stiffness, rigidity and impact strength, and are developed to meet also the technical, aesthetic and haptic requirements of demanding applications. Circo compounds are available in selected material series, but the material can also be customised to meet specific needs and requirements in terms of mechanical and environmental properties, processability, colour and other features.

Circo® recycled plastic

Circo® recycled plastic is a post-consumer plastic packaging waste-based raw material that is available in three basic grades: PP granules, HDPE granules and LDPE granules. The recycled plastic granules are a safe and reliable raw material choice suitable for a wide variety of applications. Circo recyclates can be used as a sustainable substitute for virgin plastic, as the climate change impact of Circo basic recyclates is less than half that of virgin material.
