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.

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
