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
