PCR30 - Our new environmental standard

In April 2022, a new tax will come into force aimed at increasing the minimum level of recycled content in plastic packaging to 30%. As a responsible manufacturer and an established champion of recycled plastics, Spectra supports the new move and has already put in place measures for the new policy with the rollout of our new PCR30 initiative. 

PCR3O will see all new quoted projects include a minimum of 30% PCR as standard. Any customers not wanting 30% recycled content will need to advise us on their opt-out wishes. PCR30 follows our successful PCR10 initiative, which was launched in 2018 to widespread customer support. PCR10 provided the perfect launchpad for brands looking to embrace recycled content, and we anticipate this new environmental standard will further incentivise others to ramp up their responsible packaging endeavours for the good of the environment.
