The uses for recycled plastics are manifold. The PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials used to make components and caps in BMP TAPPI come from the recovery of plastic waste generated by the end user. A process that reduces environmental impact by enhancing the value of waste materials and giving them a new life.
Let’s take a look at the sectors that use them and the main applications.
Recycled plastic: the main uses at BMP TAPPI
La BMP TAPPI PCR plastic is ideal for making protective components used in mechanical and industrial environments. Post-Consumer Recycled materials come from used bottles, bottles and packaging (in PET, PE, PP or HDPE) whose plastic particles are collected, separated, cleaned and regenerated for industrial production.
Caps, undercaps, flap inserts, nut covers and footers are then used to:
- protect exposed threads
- prevent ingress of dirt and dust
- ensure a longer service life for parts subject to wear and tear
BMP TAPPI is part of the Essentra group. Take a look at our sustainable products made from PCR material!

Businesses that use recycled plastic: why they choose it
Businesses that use recycled plastic caps and accessories know the valuable characteristics of this material, which results in:
- lightness
- versatility
- resistance
- flexibility
PCR recycled plastics also ensure durability, stability and mechanical strength – qualities that are indispensable against the wear and tear and stress of industrial applications. Post-consumer recycled materials are also a viable alternative to traditional plastics for those who value sustainability. The aim is to contribute to:
- reduce the extraction of new resources
- reduce waste bound for landfills
- comply with environmental regulations that encourage companies to use recycled materials
- improve their image in the eyes of investors and customers by showing a real commitment to the environment
