Recycled Plastic

Commodity Certificate Types

Commodity certificate for mechanically recycled polymer resin from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reprocessed to displace virgin resin one-for-one.

Also known as: Recycled Resin, Post-Consumer Recycled certificate, PCR

Note

Same molecule reprocessed, so the reduction is the avoided virgin production — both the polymer plant and the upstream steam cracker. Mirrors dnt-int-cc:ReclaimedRefrigerant.
