PCF is the environmental alternative for processing recycled fibers (not virgin) when it is unclear whether or not chlorine bleach was used in the original processing. It does not indicate that the fiber has never been bleached using chlorine during its lifetime.

PLA features excellent clarity, scratch resistance and tear strength, and is also approved by the Postal Service MERLIN tests — a test of a bar code to make sure it is readable by the USPS system’s machines.
