Two critical components to a sustainable solution—resource and energy consumption. In terms of sheet extrusion, a sustainable solution refers to a highly reliable, energy efficient system that maximizes or utilizes the most of its resources.

Having the ability to recycle scrap and/or utilize PCR pellets in the production process provides a cost competitive advantage to that of purchasing new resin material. Employing such a method can lead to monetary benefits in the form of profit margins, increased cost savings, and improved logistics.

There are other advantages to using regrind. For instance, applications where free flow resin is critical, the regrind properties offer a heavier, lower bulk density alternative over virgin flake, allowing for greater flow capabilities. Thus, pelletized PCR increases and stabilizes bulk density, thereby improving extrusion reliability.

Furthermore, utilizing PCR reduces the production requirements for fuel-based virgin resin and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, thereby aiding in a manufacturer's positive impact to the environment.
