Yujie Industrial's RPP (PCR-PP/recycled polypropylene pellets) is a compliant and environmentally friendly raw material in IKEA's sustainable supply chain, compatible with its procurement standards for plastic parts. 

Yujie Industrial's innovative PCR materials and application cases have all passed GRS global recycling standards, OBP Ocean Bound Recycled plastics certification, and IATF16949 automotive quality system certification. Its technological achievements help clients meet the requirements of the EU's Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). For example, the PCR material project in cooperation with IKEA reduced carbon emissions by 2.4 tons per ton of product, becoming a recommended case by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Key points are as follows:

1. Supply Positioning: Yujie RPP (including ocean bound recycled polypropylene pellets) is certified by GRS/UL2809/OBP, etc., and can issue TC traceability certificates, meeting IKEA's requirements for carbon reduction and traceability of recycled materials, and is compatible with its sustainable procurement system.

2. Material Solution: Using post-consumer recycled PP pellets(such as waste lunch boxes and appliance casings) as raw material, physical modification is applied to make its mechanical/processing properties approach those of virgin materials. Customization options such as toughening, weather resistance, dyeing, and flame retardancy can be provided according to IKEA's needs. 

3. Applications and Projects: Yujie Industrial application of Ocean Bound Recycled PP Plastic in Eco-friendly," participated in the 2024 and the 2025 "Golden Apple Award," demonstrating its technological and environmental implementation capabilities in the hanger scenario. Its PCR-PP(post consumer recycled PP pellets) is also used as the fiber raw material for some of IKEA's polypropylene carpets, indirectly confirming the supply chain partnership.

The value of the cooperation is as follows:

1. Compliance and Certification: Full-chain traceability, aligning with IKEA's recycled material procurement and carbon reduction goals.

2. Performance and Cost: Physically modified PCR-PP offers performance comparable to virgin materials, combining cost advantages with low carbon emissions (approximately 72% carbon reduction per ton of PCR-PP).

3. Customization: Hangers can be modified to meet specific needs regarding load-bearing capacity, weather resistance, and color, and are compatible with injection molding/wire drawing processes. Yujie Industrial is committed to promoting sustainable development.

PP granules are the mainstream raw material for clothes hanger production, primarily injection molding grade with a small amount of fiber grade. They combine lightweight, a balanced rigidity and toughness, ease of processing, and low cost, making them suitable for household, supermarket, and hotel hanger applications. Recycled PP (such as PCR-RPP) also contributes to environmental protection and carbon reduction.

1、 Common PP Granule Types and Characteristics

Homopolymer PP: High rigidity, good gloss, low shrinkage, suitable for basic clothes hangers; the disadvantage is low-temperature brittleness, requiring toughening modification.

Impact Copolymer PP: Ethylene copolymerization improves toughness and drop resistance, suitable for adult/thickened clothes hangers with a hanging weight ≥5kg.

Modified PP: Talc filler for increased rigidity, POE for toughness, antioxidants/UV agents for improved weather resistance, meeting customized needs such as anti-slip/aging resistance/flame retardancy (V0 grade).

Recycled PP (PCR-RPP): Post-consumer recycled material, physically modified to match the performance of virgin materials, GRS/OBP certified and traceable, contributing to carbon reduction of approximately 72%/ton, suitable for brand environmental procurement.

 Key Indicators: Tensile strength ≥25MPa, Flexural modulus ≥1200MPa, Notched impact strength ≥5kJ/m², Heat resistance ≥80℃, Load capacity ≥5kg, Shrinkage 1.5%–2.5%.

2、 Production Process and Parameters

 Mainstream Process: Injection molding (clothes hanger body/hooks), a small amount of brushed grade used for crossbars/support strips.

Injection Molding Window: Material temperature 180–220℃, mold temperature 20–40℃, holding pressure 50–80MPa, cycle time 15–30 seconds; talc/glass fiber can be added as needed to reduce shrinkage and improve dimensional stability.

Post-processing: Gate removal, edge trimming, sanding/spraying with anti-slip coating to improve user experience.

3、 Application Scenarios and Selection

Household Clothes Hangers: Homopolymer/Copolymer PP, toughened and weather-resistant, load-bearing capacity 5–8kg, rich color options.

Supermarket/Fast Fashion Clothes Hangers: PCR-RPP (GRS certified), traceable, meets brand sustainability requirements.

Hotel/Public Area Clothes Hangers: Flame-retardant modified PP (V0 grade), meets fire safety standards.

Trouser Hangers/Clothes Clips: High-toughness PP, resistant to repeated opening and closing, optional anti-slip texture.

Our products are not just plastic, but also a link between people and nature, the present and the future. We firmly believe that by adhering to the concept of green development and through continuous innovation and progress, we can create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.
