Sustainable closures and PCR packaging

  • MRP Solutions

MRP Solutions' closures are made from recyclable Polypropylene, and new advances in recycled materials have made Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin a reality for child-resistant closures.

To facilitate customers in their choice of using recycled material, MRP offers PCR resin pricing in addition to virgin resin pricing on ALL quotes, where applicable, thus making it easier than ever to choose sustainable, choose recycled and choose circular.

"According to the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), plastic waste makes up 18.5% of municipal landfill waste. And the amount of plastic making its way into landfills is growing each year. This has long-term effects on the environment and can also impact the economy. But by committing to recycling everyday products and purchasing items made from post-consumer recycled resin, brands and consumers can help reduce this impact."
