GCR Launches CICLICNXT® Next-Level PCR Polyolefins at Industrial Scale

We are proud to announce the launch of CICLICNXT®, a next-level line of certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefins engineered to deliver virgin-like performance at industrial scale.

Backed by over 20 years of recycling expertise, CICLICNXT® has been designed for brand owners and top-tier converters seeking high-quality, reliable, and traceable PCR materials to accelerate their sustainability targets without compromising performance.

Industrial-Scale Production

CICLICNXT® is produced at one of Europe’s most advanced mechanical recycling facilities — our recently launched Castellet Recycling Plant, with a capacity of 100,000 metric tons per year. Equipped with state-of-the-art sorting, washing, and compounding technology, low-energy processes, and a closed-loop water purification system, the plant sets new standards for efficiency and resource optimization.

Technical Excellence and Certified Quality

Every CICLICNXT® grade is validated through the GCR Innovation Hub, combining industrial-scale pilot testing, advanced QA and analytical tools, and application co-development. With VOC and NVOC detection systems ensuring material purity, CICLICNXT® provides converters with stable, high-quality recycled resins.

The product line is supported by a robust set of certifications, including:

• ISO 14067:2018 – Product Carbon Footprint (TÜV)
• ISCC PLUS – Circular and Bio-based products
• RecyClass – Recycling Process Certification for pre-consumer & post-consumer (EN 15343)

Applications Across Industries

With virgin-comparable performance, CICLICNXT® supports a wide range of non-food contact applications: rigid and flexible packaging, personal care, household products, building materials, and consumer goods.

Meet CICLICNXT® at K 2025

CICLICNXT® will be presented for the first time at K 2025 in Düsseldorf (8–15 October, Hall 8A, Stand K27), where GCR will showcase new capabilities designed to help customers integrate recycled content into their applications at scale.
