The difference between PIR and PCR is as follows. PIR is an abbreviation for Post Industrial Recycled and is the raw material made from waste generated within industry. PCR is an abbreviation for Post Consumer Recycled and is the raw material made from consumer/end-user waste.
With growing interest in using recycled material in packaging, there is increasing demand for PIR and PCR. KIVO is able to supply both PIR and PCR.
