Additionally known as 'bio-plastics' or plant-based resins. Manufactured from renewable biodegradable sources such as plants, corn, and sugarcane, and possess 'end of life' biodegradable and compostable properties.

Also made from natural materials but can be broken down into smaller pieces over time, unlike bio-resins, and may not fully decompose into natural elements. These resins are biodegradable according to ASTM D6400 testing standard. Carbon molecules in these plastics may be from plants or petroleum, there is no restriction.

PCR (Post Consumer Resin) is the technical term for recycled plastic resin made from traditional plastic materials that have been sorted, sterilized, reground, and repurposed to be used again for manufacturing purposes. Post-Consumer Recycled resins come from a reliable, professional supplier of PCR resin with a stable supply chain. These resins meet heavy metal and FDA food safety standards and have all the relevant documentation.

Item is made from a single, readily-recyclable, plastic. All components in the item must be this one resin type. Items may or may not be made from PCR material. By being made from a single, readily-recyclable plastic, end consumers can "Rinse, Sort and Recycle" this item with ease.

Allows reuse of a product by replacing an item's contents in original packaging to reduce consumer waste.

Generally recyclable and considered less impactful on the environment, some or all components of this item can be made of glass, metal or paper.

Pumps made without any metal springs or metal or glass valves.

1) Styrene = SAN / AS / ABS / PMMA PS 2) Replace POM with POK or PBT 3) Replace styrene with PET / PETG

Primarily made from a single plastic type. A small percentage of the overall product weight is attributed to a specialty sub-component made from an alternate material, such as a spring, wiper or applicator, which if made from the primary material would substantially degrade the package performance.
