recycled on a large scale. View more information HERE.
Performance Grades
The PPWR introduces a system of recycling performance grades (A to D) that assess
how recyclable packaging actually is.
Verification and Classification
Conformity with recyclability requirements must be demonstrated through conformity
assessment procedures.
Waste Streams
A minimum availability of infrastructure for the collection, sorting, and recycling for
specific waste streams (plastic, wood, ferrous metals, aluminium, glass,
paper/cardboard) is required.
