Polycarbonate recovered from automotive headlights is one of the feedstock sources used for post-consumer recycled polycarbonate (PCR PC). Since headlight lenses are primarily manufactured from polycarbonate (PC), the recovered material generally has a more defined material composition compared to PCR PC sourced from mixed plastic or electronic waste streams.

Regenport sources post-consumer automotive headlights collected in South Korea and reprocesses them into black PCR polycarbonate pellets for resin manufacturers and compounders.

What Is PCR PC and Why Does Feedstock Source Matter?

PCR (post-consumer recycled) polycarbonate is recovered from products after end-of-life use and reprocessed into pellet form for reuse in manufacturing. The composition and characteristics of PCR PC can vary depending on the original application from which the material is recovered. PC recovered from specific applications such as automotive headlight lenses generally has a more defined material composition compared to mixed-source plastic or electronic scrap streams.

Material Data

What Does an MFI of 8–10 g/10min Mean for PCR Polycarbonate Processing?

An MFI (Melt Flow Index) of 8–10 g/10min indicates one of the commonly referenced flowability ranges for polycarbonate (PC) materials. In recycled polycarbonate (PCR PC), MFI is frequently used as a reference property for injection molding, compounding, and resin blending applications.

When blending PCR PC with virgin polycarbonate or other engineering plastics, material evaluation may be required depending on the target mechanical properties, processing conditions, and end-use application.

A density of 1.18 g/cm³ is generally within the commonly referenced density range for standard polycarbonate materials.
