Post-consumer recycled aluminium, or PCR aluminium for short, is manufactured through the recycling of post-consumer aluminium scrap (waste after use). According to DIN EN ISO 14021, post-consumer scrap is material which can no longer be used for its intended purpose after its actual use. In this respect, it is irrelevant whether the scrap comes from households, commercial, industrial, or institutional use. LINHARDT PCR packaging contains 100% post-consumer recyclate made from end-of-life aluminium scraps like cable wires or lithographic plates.
