Recycled Plastic Buckets

Post Consumer Recycled Plastic (PCR)

A range of buckets manufactured from recycled plastic specifically for non-food industries.

Made from 100% recycled material and fully customisable with In Mould Labelling.

Recycled Plastic Buckets – PCR

Our range of post consumer recycled buckets have been produced for the non-food industry. With no raw materials used to produce the bucket, there is no need for crude oil and the CO2 output reduces by 90%. Utilizing PCR is a significant step toward a circular economy, as it diverts plastic from landfills and reduces the need for virgin fossil resources.

These recycled containers are designed to perform reliably in demanding, non-food environments and are perfect for applications like:

  • Paints and Coatings
  • Chemicals and Adhesives
  • Fertilizers
  • Building Materials

The material for our PCR products comes from packaging waste collected from consumers, organizations, and businesses. This waste is collected, sorted, washed, and then processed into new polypropylene resin granules. These recycled granules are they used in the exact same manufacturing processes as for virgin material, ensuring the final bucket is durable, reliable, and high-quality.

Plastic Packaging Tax Exemption

Not only does each bucket drastically reduce CO2 emissions, but it’s also a fully sustainable choice. Because our PCR buckets contain more than 30% recycled material, they are currently exempt from the Plastic Packaging Tax. This provides you with a clear cost-saving benefit while supporting a circular economy.

Colour Options

Our standard range of PCR buckets is currently available in a functional and professional palette: light grey, dark grey, and black.

We understand your brand may require a custom look. Other colours, such as mid-grey, brown, or dark green, maybe available, but would be subject to larger Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). If you do need your branding to stand out, we can offer IML on PCR buckets.

Elevate Your Brand with IML (In-Mould Labelling)

If you’re considering changing over to PCR for your containers, we highly recommend pairing it with our In-Mould Labelling (IML) technology.

IML is a superior decoration method where the label is placed directly into the mould during manufacture, becoming a fully integrated, seamless part of the container.

The IML Advantage:

  • Cost and Time Savings: IML eliminates the need for purchasing and applying costly, time-consuming self-adhesive labels or sleeves, simplifying your production line and reducing overhead.
  • Premium Presentation: IML provides durable, high-definition graphics that will make your brand stand out on the shelf.
  • Enhanced Recyclability: By integrating the label into a Polypropylene container you further improve its end-of-life recyclability.

All other buckets may be available in PCR upon request.

Please contact us  to find out if the size you need can be manufactured in PCR.

Please be aware:

Due to the need for strength during stacking and carrying, lids and handles are only made out of 100% recyclable virgin PP.

PCR buckets are not to be used for food, hot fill or freezing.
