Recyclability
Assessment of the recyclability
of
plastic packaging
The RecyClass Recyclability Evaluation assesses how effectively a plastic packaging can be recycled in existing mechanical recycling systems. Based on scientific testing, the recyclability is evaluated at component level (e.g., materials, labels, inks, additives) and classified according to the RecyClass Design for Recycling Guidelines.
The goal is to support transparent design decisions and enable packaging that is compatible with modern recycling streams.
