Recyclable Packaging: Key Actions
Audit Recyclability
Grade all packaging A–C; flag anything below Grade C for redesign. See our PPWR Guide HERE.
Shift to Recyclable Structures
Move to mono-materials; ensure components separate easily.
Eliminate Problematic Features
Remove multi-layers, inks, foils, coatings that disrupt recycling. Choose water based options, avoiding dark inks
or anything metallic. See our Design Guide HERE for more information.
Prepare for 8Recycled at Scale9
Choose materials that are already widely recycled in high volumes across the EU, like paper, cardboard, HDPE
containers & steel packaging. See implementing act to establish methodology for Recycled at Scale HERE
Strengthen Documentation
Systems
Build DoC + technical documentation files for each product. View more HERE.
Engage with Suppliers
Require verified material specs, recyclability data, and PCR options.
Plan for Digital Labelling / DPP
Prepare QR-based systems for recyclability and material data. View more HERE.
