Compositions comprising post-consumer recycled (PCR) waste are described. The PCR is combined with at least one virgin resin and a propylene-based compatibilizer that enhances the blend between the PCR and virgin resin as well as improving one or more physical properties of the composition. The propylene-based compatibilizer is a reactor made thermoplastic polyolefin or a heterophasic copolymer with a semi-crystalline matrix and a rubber component. This allows for the selection of a compatibilizer that can shift the composition's physical properties based on the end use application, and provide a stronger, miscible blend. 1. A composition comprising:(A) a virgin resin having a first polyolefin;(B) a post-consumer recycled resin having a second polyolefin;(C) a polypropylene-based compatibilizer, wherein the polypropylene-based compatibilizer has a semi-crystalline matrix and a rubber component.2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein a flexural modulus of the composition is between about 155 to about 300 kPSI claim 1 , wherein a notched Izod Impact at 73° F. of the composition is between about 0.4 to about 12 ft-lb/in claim 1 , and wherein flexural modulus/notched Izod Impact values range from about 10 to about 650 kpsi/ft-lb/in.3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first polyolefin is polypropylene.4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the second polyolefin is polyethylene.5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second polyolefin are the same polyolefin.6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second polyolefin are different polyolefins.7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the virgin resin is present in an amount of about 20 to about 80 wt. %.8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the post-consumer recycled resin is present in an amount of about 5 to about 50 wt. %.9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene-based compatibilizer is present in an amount of about 10 to about 50 wt. %.10. The composition of ...
