As market demands and environmental regulations continue to grow, plastic manufacturers are increasingly looking for materials that combine high recycled content with reliable quality. Hybrid regranulates are the answer to these needs an advanced solution that redefines the possibilities of using PCR in industrial production.

What are Hybrid regranulates?

Hybrid regranulates are advanced PCR materials designed to combine environmental benefits with properties close to virgin plastics. Their key advantage lies in processing stability and consistent performance long considered major challenges for recycled materials.

Thanks to modern processing technologies, Hybrid materials enable high-quality end products, even with a very high share of PCR content.

Technology that overcomes PCR limitations

The success of Hybrid regranulates is driven by advanced processing technology, including:

• multi-stage degassing,
• constant-pressure filtration,
• advanced material homogenization,
• strict quality control at every stage of production.

This approach effectively eliminates common PCR issues such as variability, contamination, and process instability.

The result? A material with high purity, a stable processing window, and consistent properties ready for demanding applications.

SiReMa Hybrid in practice – more PCR without compromise

One of the biggest advantages of Hybrid regranulates is the ability to significantly increase PCR content in final products. In practice, this means manufacturers can:

• achieve up to 80% PCR content,
• maintain mechanical properties comparable to virgin materials,
• ensure stable production processes.

This is particularly important for the flexible packaging industry, where material consistency is critical.

SiReMa Hybrid H_8825 – innovation recognized in Europe

A standout example of Hybrid technology is the SiReMa Hybrid H_8825_T regranulate, which became a finalist in the prestigious Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026 in the Product Technology Innovation category.

This recognition confirms that the material not only meets high industrial standards but also sets new benchmarks for the circular economy in Europe. The jury highlighted:

• the ability to produce high-quality stretch film with high PCR content,
• process stability,
• elimination of common defects (such as gels and volatile components),
• compliance with regulatory requirements and transparency (RecyClass certification).

This clearly demonstrates that PCR can be both sustainable and fully functional even in the most demanding applications.

Applications of SiReMa Hybrid regranulates

Hybrid regranulates are used across multiple industries, especially in:

• stretch film and flexible packaging production,
• garbage bags and technical films,
• industrial components,
• applications requiring high process stability.

Their quality allows manufacturers to meet environmental targets without compromising final product performance.

Why choose SiReMa Hybrid?

Choosing Hybrid regranulates is an investment in the future of production:

• high PCR content without compromising quality,
• stable and consistent performance,
• compliance with EU regulations (PPWR),
• support for the circular economy,
• potential for material cost optimization.

Summary

Hybrid regranulates represent a major step forward in PCR material development. Thanks to advanced processing technology, it is now possible to combine sustainability with high quality and reliable production.

The success of Hybrid 8825 recognized on the European stage clearly shows that the future of plastics lies in intelligent, sustainable solutions like Hybrid.
