Sustainability isnt just a trend its our responsibility. Not only is it the right thing to do, but we want to go about it as transparently as possible.
EcoPlas contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.
Throughout , were transitioning the housing of all our new products (and some of our best-selling products) to use 73-75% recycled materials. This will reduce plastic product housing CO emissions by up to 67%. By transitioning our products from last year to incorporating 73-75% PCR materials, we saved an estimated 636 metric tons of CO emissions. Great news, right? But with the term recycled plastics becoming more and more common, we thought wed use this post to focus on the ins and outs of recycled plastics, and what this term really means. What are they, why do we use them, and how are they better for Belkin than the alternatives? Read on for the answers to all your questions!
At Belkin, sustainability is fundamental to our organisation, which is why were continually improving the products you love (and new products youll love in the future) by integrating PCR plastics and other low-impact materials into them. But what do we mean by PCR, and why is it an important part of the bigger picture?
In the context of plastics, PCR stands for post-consumer recycled. This means that when youre ready to dispose of a product, instead of going to landfill, the plastic in the product is recycled into pellets. This allows it to be used again to make another product. In other words, PCR is plastic thats made from plastic that already exists although to make sure the plastic is still great quality after processing, the recycled pellets are often mixed with new (virgin) plastic.
Theres another important concept at play here, and thats whats known as the circular economy. This is the idea of keeping materials in use for as long as possible. This decreases our need to constantly source virgin raw materials, while also designing waste out of the system. This closes the loop, diverting materials from landfill, giving them a new life so they can be used again. Theres a great animation from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that explains this in more detail.

The circular economy mirrors the natural world, where materials are building blocks that form part of a continual cycle in which living things grow, die and return to the earth to grow again into something new. Taking this idea and applying it to manufacturing, we can see that recycling is a key part of the circular economy.
To reduce our dependency on the worlds natural resources for products that get disposed of in a few years, we need to recycle them into new products. Along the way, that means finding ways to process materials so that they can be used for other things, while maintaining their original quality. Quality is important a charger that easily breaks after regular use could end up as e-waste quite quickly. Products that are built to last can continue to be used for much longer.
The circular economy lies behind our decision to transition all our applicable products to PCR plastic, both new and existing, instead of simply making a new line of products from this material and continuing to use virgin plastic as usual. In doing so, we can better contribute to the circular economy and make a much bigger impact on reducing waste and emissions.
PCR plastic isnt the only type of recycled material out there, so what about the others? Heres a look at some of the top contenders.
