How recyclability, criteria and reporting are interconnected
Our advisory approach to design for recycling is based on how recyclable a packaging material is, regardless of the material type. We do not advocate one material over another. As a producer, you can assess the recyclability of a packaging material using our clear criteria and design guidelines. The aim is to contribute to increased material recycling of packaging, resulting in more circular material flows and reduced need for virgin raw materials.
