Meeting domestic demand for post-consumer resin (PCR)

Circulus contributes to the circular economy by recycling plastic to its highest and best use

Currently, domestic infrastructure is not in place to handle the more than 46.3 million tons* of plastic generated in the U.S. each year, but Circulus is working with brand owners (consumer packaged goods companies), retailers, resin producers, converters, and packaging manufacturers to change that. Circulus provides a domestic solution for upcycling post-consumer recycled resin at scale and maintaining its highest quality for repeated use.
