Home // Resources // Knowledge Base // Using Post-Consumer Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging Closures Closures are critical to the plastic packaging system because they can protect the contents of the package and provide safety aspects for the consumer. This shift is improving access to PCR for closures specifically and, as a result, increasing the amount of PCR used across all plastic packaging, including in more challenging situations such as food-contact packaging.

According to an in-depth analysis by Report Ocean, the global high-performance thermoplastics market is projected to jump to $65.6 billion by 2026, up from $36.5 billion in 2018. While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues.
