Recyclable post-consumer recycled CPP film

Cast Polypropylene (CPP) is a type of polypropylene (PP) film that is produced through a casting process, which provides more durability and flexibility compared to other types of PP films. Available in multiple thicknesses and 30% - 100% recycled content, it is food-grade and offers excellent heat-sealing properties, high clarity, and strength.Common sources of recycled polypropylene include food packaging, containers, and automotive parts. Recycled PP (rPP) is highly versatile, finding applications in rigid packaging, textiles, and automotive components.

The Good

  • Grounded's 100% PCR PP diverts post-consumer plastic waste from landfills, significantly reducing environmental impact
  • PCR PP offers a durable, lightweight, and heat-resistant alternative, maintaining performance while reducing reliance on virgin plastics
  • Utilising PCR PP lowers the carbon footprint associated with plastic production compared to virgin polypropylene
  • Increasing demand for PCR PP strengthens the recycling economy, promoting the collection and processing of plastic waste
  • Adopting PCR PP encourages the development of improved waste management infrastructure, vital for a circular economy
  • PCR PP is fully recyclable, contributing to a closed-loop system and minimizing long-term environmental burden

The Bad

  • Raw material quality can be variable, due to the nature of recycling systems. This can result in a slightly speckled texture and at times can lead to the material being slightly more brittle
  • It is not biodegradable or compostable, and if it ends up in the environment it is likely to be there for many years before turning into biogenic carbon
