RecyClass – Recyclability & Recycled Content
RecyClass certification of the recyclability of your plastic packaging. Assessment of recyclability with a European perspective. Design for recycling criteria are used as a basis for testing the way packaging reacts to collection, sorting and recycling processes.
RecyClass developed several types of recyclability assessments for plastic packaging, answering the needs of the entire plastic value chain:
- Design for Recycling Certification classifies qualitatively from A to F the technical recyclability of final plastic packaging.
- Recyclability Rate Certification rates the effective recyclability of final plastic packaging in a specific geographical area.
- Letter of compatibility evaluates qualitatively the recyclability of semi-finished packaging.
RecyClass Recycled Content
The Recycled Plastics Traceability Audit Scheme assesses the physical traceability of recycled plastic material throughout all the actors of the value chain, while verifying the origin of pre- and post-consumer material in product claims.
Certification is based on the EN 15343:2007 standard and the principles of a controlled blending chain of custody model as defined in ISO 22095:2020.
Advantages of certification:
- Facilitates the traceability of recycled materials along the value chain
- Promotes transparent use of recycled plastic in new products
- Reinforces reliable and verifiable claims on recycled plastic
- Increases trust among consumers
