A Product Approval validates the compatibility of a final packaging (as commercialized) with a determined recycling stream. Available products are tested by independent laboratories. The results are assessed by the RecyClass Technical Committee. When a product approval is granted, the Design for Recycling Guidelines can be adapted accordingly.
Please note that Product Approvals are mainly destined for packaging containing features not yet covered by the guidelines (i.e. that request testing). Otherwise, the packaging is eligible to a recyclability certification.
If you would like to obtain an approval of your product, please refer to our FAQ section or contact us.
