PCR-Based Resins Strengthen Recycling Markets and Advance the Fight Against Plastic Pollution


Idaho Falls, ID [October 28th, 2025]- BioLogiQ, Inc., a global innovator in sustainable plastics, announced today that its family of NuPlastiQ®- enhanced post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins offers a powerful solution for reducing plastic pollution while building stable markets for recycled materials around the world.

As nations and industries work to increase recycled content in packaging and products, the availability and quality of PCR materials remain critical challenges. The U.S. Plastics Pact’s recent report, Overcoming PCR Barriers, highlights that inconsistent quality and high costs are key obstacles to expanding the use of PCR plastics. BioLogiQ’s technology directly addresses these challenges by improving the performance and processability of PCR resins, helping manufacturers integrate more recycled content into products- without compromising quality or efficiency.

“BioLogiQ was founded on the values to accelerate the transition to a circular plastic economy,” said Diana Thomas, Sustainability Manager at BioLogiQ. “Our NuPlastiQ-based resins make PCR materials easier to use and more reliable, which helps drive real demand for recycled content.”

Blending Innovation with Circularity

NuPlastiQ®- a plant-based biopolymer developed by BioLogiQ- is an ideal partner resin for recycled plastics, improving the stability and strength while simplifying processing. When blended with PCR, NuPlastiQ allows converters and brand owners to use higher-recycled content levels in their packaging and consumer goods without sacrificing performance or production efficiency.

This innovation helps close a critical gap identified by the U.S. Plastics Pact: the need for market mechanisms that increase both the supply and demand for high-quality PCR. By making PCR resins easier to process, NuPlastiQ not only reduces dependence on virgin plastics but also encourages greater market adoption of circular materials.

Building Stable Markets for Recycled Materials

A stable and predictable market for PCR is essential to the success of the recycling industry. Many regions, including Southeast Asia, struggle with volatile pricing, inconsistent resin quality, and underdeveloped recycling systems. BioLogiQ’s PCR resin grades offer a way to stabilize these markets by broadening the applications for recycled plastics and improving their competitiveness with virgin plastic grades.

Manufacturers using NuPlastiQ-blended PCR have reported smoother processing, reduced downtime, and improved product quality- benefits that translate directly into stronger economic incentives for the recycling industry. By increasing the use of recycled feedstocks, BioLogiQ helps recyclers secure long-term demand and creates a more resilient foundation for circular economic development.

A Scalable Solution to Plastic Pollution

The global recycled plastics market is projected to reach nearly US$80 billion by 2030, driven by consumer pressure, regulatory initiatives, and brand commitments to sustainability. Yet, without innovations that make recycled content easier to adopt, much of that potential remains untapped. BioLogiQ’s hybrid plant-and-PCR-based resins are designed for scalability, enabling companies in both developed and emerging markets to accelerate their use of recycled materials- an essential step in reducing plastic waste and pollution.

“Sustainability isn’t just about replacing materials- it’s about building systems that last,” added Thomas. “By combining performance with circularity, our technology makes it possible for recyclers, converters, and brands to thrive together in a more sustainable materials economy.”
