Evaluate your packaging’s performance against recyclability criteria
What is this?
Receive technical validation of your packaging’s recyclability through a range of tests conducted under real laboratory conditions. These tests assess key recyclability parameters and quantify the proportion of material that can be effectively recovered. Examples of tests performed:
- Repulping (paper/cardboard): evaluates fibre recovery rates, as well as the presence, colour and quantity of macro-stickies (contaminants that disrupt the recycling process)
- Label washing: assesses whether adhesives can be removed without impacting the recycling stream of PET or PP
- Graphic print clearing (deinking): verifies ink separation during the recycling of graphic papers
Who is it for?
- Companies placing packaging on the market that have not obtained a recyclability certificate from their supplier or manufacturer
- Relevant functions: Quality Managers, R&D
