Our R-PLA colored regrind (recycled polylactic acid) is a responsible, safe, and high-performance solution for companies committed to environmental sustainability. It is produced from 100% post-industrial waste (PIR) derived from food packaging, pre-colored using fully biodegradable masterbatches, and is CSI-certified for its fully recycled content.
Through a precise selection and controlled mechanical grinding process, the material is supplied in flake form and available in various distinct colors (such as green, orange, or multicolor), separated by batch. It is ideal for the production of compounds, extrusion, and all applications where a specific color is required without the need for prior regranulation.
The material can also be further pigmented into darker tones or blended with neutral PLA to achieve the desired shade. It is a bio-based and industrially compostable product that combines good technical performance with a low environmental impact.
Thanks to a meticulous recycling process, Biogeo R-PLA ensures high and consistent quality, making it suitable for a wide range of productive and creative sectors.
Biogeo R-PLA colored regrind: practical solutions for sustainable sectors
Colored R-PLA regrind represents a sustainable choice with strong environmental and economic value. Compared to R-PLA granules, this version skips the regranulation step, making it more cost-effective for companies with in-house regranulation or those developing compounds by blending with other polymers. Its applications are broad and fully comparable to granules: from the production of biodegradable compounds with recycled content, to sheet extrusion, 3D printing (after regranulation), and solutions in agriculture, compostable packaging, and eco-innovative design.
Colored R-PLA regrind is particularly suitable for applications requiring darker tones (such as brown, black, or similar), offering an effective and affordable biodegradable solution for companies seeking to reduce costs without compromising on sustainability.
Why choose our Biogeo R-PLA regrind?
Choosing our R-PLA regrind means giving new life to valuable materials, reducing environmental impact, and demonstrating a true commitment to the circular economy. Each flake is the result of a precise mechanical recycling process that enhances post-industrial waste while preserving the material’s original quality.
That’s why more and more companies choose Biogeo R-PLA regrind:
- 100% recycled and recyclable, for a truly sustainable production cycle
- Bio-based and compostable: ideal for sectors focused on renewable and compostable materials
- Suitable for multiple processes: especially biodegradable compounds, but also many other applications
- Low carbon footprint and reduced environmental impact
- Competitive pricing without compromising quality
- European technical support and logistics, with optional scrap collection service
- High quality and reliable performance thanks to experience and strict quality control
- Transparent and traceable supply chain
Choose our R-PLA regrind to give your products a sustainable soul, without compromise on quality, performance, or versatility.

PIR and PCR: two acronyms, two materials, two prices
PIR and PCR often get used as if they were two ways of saying “recycled”. They aren’t. They’re two different materials, born in two different worlds — and that difference in origin decides three things a buyer actually cares about: performance, price, and what you can declare. Let’s take them in turn. The two acronyms,
Recycled Post-Industrial PLA (R-PLA): Properties, Certifications and Applications
PLA is the most widely used bioplastic in the world, but its story doesn’t end with the first use. When clean production scrap is recovered and reprocessed, you get recycled PLA — a material that is bio-based and recycled at the same time. This guide explains what R-PLA is, how it’s made, what properties and certifications it has,
How a batch of recycled material is qualified
“Recycled”, printed on a datasheet, isn’t enough. When a buyer receives a batch of recycled material, the question that matters isn’t “is it recycled?” but “can you prove what it is — batch after batch?”. Qualifying a batch means lining up four things that hold together: the stream it comes from, the consistency between one batch and the
