Recyclable packaging ARTICLE 6
Packaging shall be considered recyclable if
ɚ a. it is designed for material recycling, which enables the use of resulting
secondary raw materials that are of sufficient quality when compared
to the original material that it can be used to substitute primary raw
materials, in accordance with paragraph 4 (Design for Recycling
Criteria). Packaging that is in compliance with the delegated acts adopted
pursuant to paragraph 4 shall be deemed to comply with this condition.
ɚ b. When it becomes waste, it can be separately collected in accordance
with Article 48(1) and (5), sorted into specific waste streams without
affecting the recyclability of other waste streams and recycled at scale,
on the basis of the methodology set out in accordance with paragraph 5.
Design for recycling will fall into 3 performance grades (A to C). Below
grade C is deemed not recyclable. These are defined in Annex II Table 3 (see
below for further details). Packaging categories for which the assessment
will take place are shown in Annex II Table 1.
