Was ist eigentlich das besondere an „post-consumer-recycled"?

What is so special about "post-consumer-recycled"?

Pre-consumer recycling :

This is waste that is created during production but never reaches the consumer. For example, fabric scraps or excess material from the manufacture of clothing.

Sustainability : Pre-consumer material is often considered less sustainable because it is waste from production that will be recycled anyway, but it prevents those leftovers from going to waste.

Post-consumer recycling:

This recycling refers to materials that have already been used by consumers . For example, old clothing that is recycled and made into new fibers.

Sustainability : Post-consumer recycling is more sustainable because it reuses waste from people's everyday lives, preventing these materials from ending up in landfills or polluting the environment.

In summary: Post-consumer recycling has a higher environmental benefit because it returns already used resources into the cycle and reduces waste, while pre-consumer recycling mainly processes production waste.
