PCR Technology
Verde Bioresins’ PolyEarthylene® PCR portfolio helps brands and converters increase recycled content (up to 50% PCR) while maintaining performance, processability, and product consistency. Our PCR-based solutions help customers meet sustainability goals and support strategies designed for State EPR and PCR Mandates, promoting circularity without sacrificing manufacturability. With multiple end-of-life options, the PolyEarthylene® PCR portfolio is truly a sustainable solution.
PolyEarthylene® PCR
Designed for Injection Molding, Blow Molding, Film, Extrusion and Thermoforming
Post-Consumer Recycled
High-quality compounds incorporating recycled content to help close the loop, reduce reliance on virgin plastics, and support more sustainable product lifecycles.
Landfill Degradable
Materials designed to break down in landfill environments, helping reduce persistent plastic waste while supporting end-of-life options beyond traditional disposal.
Recyclable
Compatible resins that preserve the recyclability of traditional polyethylene and polypropylene streams, enabling sustainability without disrupting existing infrastructure.
Custom Compounds
Tailored resin compounds engineered to meet application-specific performance, processing and regulatory requirements across a wide range of markets

Engineered Performance
Incorporating recycled content shouldn't require compromising production efficiency or product performance. Verde engineers application-specific PCR compounds designed to run on conventional processing equipment while delivering the mechanical, processing, and aesthetic properties required for commercial manufacturing.
Landfill Degradation
Designed to decompose due to the naturally occurring microorganisms present in landfill environments.
Reduces microplastic pollution
Unlike oxo-degradable plastics, which can leave behind micro-plastic particles, PolyEarthylene® offers an environmentally friendly approach by minimizing such microplastic during degradation.
Biodegradation in 1 to 5 years
Depending on the specific grade and its intended application, PolyEarthylene® products have biodegradation timelines ranging from 1 to 5 years.
The biodegradation process
PolyEarthylene® utilizes a natural biodegradation process, where the entire polymer component is digested and metabolized by microbial consumption, ultimately reducing into biomass, carbon dioxide, methane and water.
Tested
Verde® utilizing accredited third party labs to validate biodegradation.
Recyclable
PolyEarthylene® is designed to be compatible with existing recycling systems, making it a convenient and sustainable option for consumers and businesses.
Designed for use in applications that remain compatible with established PE or PP recycling streams, subject to the final package design and local collection programs.
Compatible production scrap may be eligible for internal or industrial reprocessing, helping converters reduce material loss and improve manufacturing yields.
Engineered for PCR Consistency
Processed to deliver uniform quality regardless of recycled feedstock variability.
Feedstock Qualification
Incoming recycled materials are evaluated against defined quality and formulation requirements before use.
Formulation Control
PCR feedstocks are compounded with selected resin systems and additives to meet application-specific processing and performance targets.
Trusted quality
Material properties are monitored to support dependable conversion and finished-product quality.
Application Validation
Formulations can be evaluated through internal processing and testing to confirm suitability for the intended application.
Driving the Transition to Circular Materials
Across the globe, brand owners and manufacturers are increasing the use of recycled content to support corporate ESG initiatives, evolving packaging regulations, and circular economy commitments. From California's SB 54 and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to international recycled-content initiatives, organizations are seeking material solutions that balance sustainability with commercial performance. Verde's engineered PCR compounds help manufacturers incorporate post-consumer recycled content into polyethylene and polypropylene applications while maintaining the processability, consistency, and performance required for commercial production.
