Ecoblend® PCR PP Compounds

Post-consumer recycled polypropylene solutions for home appliances, packaging, furniture and durable consumer products

KUMHO SUNNY PLASTICS offers Ecoblend® PCR PP compounds made with post-consumer recycled polypropylene. Available solutions cover general PCR PP, mineral-reinforced compounds and appearance-focused grades, helping manufacturers increase recycled content while addressing different product design and processing requirements.

Recycled Polypropylene Product Portfolio

The Ecoblend® PCR PP portfolio includes:

• General-purpose PCR PP
• PCR PP with talc reinforcement
• Glass-fiber-reinforced PCR PP
• Aesthetic PCR PP for visible components
• Antibacterial PCR PP

PCR content, impact requirements, reinforcement, color and surface appearance can be adjusted according to the final application.

Ecoblend® PCR PP is suitable for applications ranging from high-recycled-content packaging to durable molded components requiring customized appearance or impact performance.

Verified Carbon-Reduction Data

KUMHO SUNNY PLASTICS evaluates the product carbon footprint of selected Ecoblend® PCR PP grades according to ISO 14067.

The supplied assessment reports:

• ER6050: 1.49 kg CO₂e, with a 33.61% carbon reduction
• ER6080: 1.10 kg CO₂e, with a 52.46% carbon reduction
• ER6100: 0.77 kg CO₂e, with a 66.04% carbon reduction

Carbon-footprint results are based on the supplied KUMHO SUNNY PLASTICS material. Calculations were conducted using SimaPro 9.0.0.48 and the Ecoinvent 3.6 database. Actual results may vary according to grade, PCR content, processing conditions and system boundaries.

Application Case: Folding Crate

The Tianma folding crate uses Ecoblend® ER6121 with 20% PCR content. The case demonstrates how recycled polypropylene can be introduced into reusable storage and logistics products.

Application Case: Furniture

A HAY furniture chair uses Ecoblend® ER6100 with 100% PCR content, showing that high-recycled-content PP can be considered for visible household and furniture components.

Application Case: High-Impact Luggage

Ecoblend® ER6100 is also used in a suitcase application requiring 100% PCR content and high-impact performance. This case expands the use of recycled polypropylene from packaging into durable consumer products.

Circular PP Solutions for Mobility Products

Ecoblend® PCR PP has also been evaluated in shared-mobility components using recycled food-container polypropylene. Examples in the supplied material include:

• PCR PP+TD5 basket containing 10% recycled food-container PP
• PCR PP mudguard containing 10% recycled food-container PP
• PCR PP+TD20 battery-seat bucket containing 10% recycled food-container PP

These applications demonstrate a practical route for converting recovered polypropylene into new mobility components.

Certification and Customization

Selected Ecoblend® PCR products may be supported by:

• GRS recycled-material management
• UL 2809 recycled-content certification
• UL 2809 certification for PCR materials derived from information technology equipment
• Application-specific color and surface customization

Certification availability should be confirmed for the selected grade and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PCR PP?

PCR PP is polypropylene containing post-consumer recycled material collected from products after use. It helps reduce dependence on virgin polypropylene and supports circular-material strategies.

Can PCR PP contain 100% recycled material?

Yes. Ecoblend® ER6100 has been applied with 100% PCR content in packaging, furniture, sports products and luggage applications.

Are reinforced PCR PP compounds available?

Yes. The Ecoblend® portfolio includes talc-reinforced and glass-fiber-reinforced PCR PP compounds. The formulation can be selected according to stiffness, impact, dimensional and processing requirements.
