to Nox in the US for production of LVT for residen- tial and commercial applications. Celanese said for its new Zytel PA Eco-R PA66


and PA6 resins the manufacturing approach consists of either mass balance or blending of PIR content that is at least 30% of the final product. One emerging dynamic is the deliberate blending of PIR and PCR content in new materials. Historically, post-industrial waste was preferred because of its relatively predictable quality and traceability. However, with regulatory pressures tightening, companies are being incentivised to incorporate higher PCR percentages into their products. Chemical recycling enables more flexible feedstock sourcing, allowing firms to combine PIR and PCR material streams without compromising product performance. For manufacturers aiming for carbon reduction


and recycled content targets, the integration of PIR into chemical recycling processes offers a way to reduce raw material variability and build greater supply chain resilience. It also opens the door to closing loops for more complex industrial waste, such as multi-material automotive components and heavily printed films.


As the infrastructure for chemical recycling


expands, and certification schemes such as ISCC Plus evolve to accommodate blended feedstocks, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in redefin- ing what counts as “recycled content” and where post-industrial waste fits into the future of plastics circularity.

Get Materialsmart® Reduce your environmental footprint


The raw material you select accounts for 60- 80 percent of your product’s carbon footprint before it reaches the end user. This means that a smart material choice can have a major effect on your overall environmental impact.


Using our Materialsmart® concept, we calculate the carbon footprint of your current material and simulate how much you can reduce it by switching to one of our other materials. We can help you analyze your specific material and project.
