Toray’s new PCR PET Films
Sustainability has always been one of Toray’s main focus. Today, Toray is the first on the market to launch a range of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Lumirror® PET Films.
PCR PET film is made with post-consumer waste from bottles. Then, as it is a mono-material, it will be recyclable and can be combined with recycled bottles waste that can then be reused to do new PCR PET films. Finally, this can be repeated indefinitely. Toray is then committed to a circular economy.
Our Lumirror® PCR PET Films
Toray’s Lumirror® range has a new PCR PET film available in white and transparent, designed for different applications such as labels :
- Lumirror® 10.56R – which offers an opaque white aspect and high gloss with coated side for printability. Available in 50µm.
- Lumirror® 60.56R – which offers a hazy aspect with coated side for printability. Available in 50µm.
- Lumirror® 60.01R – which offers a hazy aspect and high roughness with coated side for printability. Available in 30µm.
For both PCR films Toray guarantees a 30% minimum PCR ratio but can be up to 90% PCR ratio on demand.
