Zhongyue Mould Develops Eco‑Friendly Plastic Injection Moulds Optimised For Pcr Materials To Support Circular Economy

As brands push for post‑consumer recycled (PCR) materials to meet carbon reduction goals, traditional moulds often struggle with PCR’s poor flowability, odours, and black spots. To solve this, ZHONGYUE MOULD today announced the successful development of plastic injection moulds specially designed for PCR materials.

ZHONGYUE MOULD’s engineering team has redesigned the gating and venting systems to handle PCR’s unique challenges. The new plastic injection moulds feature high‑wear‑resistant coatings and oversized venting designs, reducing shear heat and preventing material degradation during processing.

“Many manufacturers experience short shots or corrosion when using PCR materials,” said [Name], R&D Manager at ZHONGYUE MOULD. “Our moulds use a special surface polishing process that overcomes cosmetic defects caused by impurities in recycled materials. We consistently achieve yield rates above 99%.”

This breakthrough allows manufacturers of cosmetic packaging, daily chemical bottles, and thin‑wall containers to switch seamlessly to recycled materials. ZHONGYUE MOULD has already secured a long‑term purchase order from a leading European packaging group, helping them achieve their 2025 goal of 100% recyclable packaging.
