Technology Approvals

A Technology Approval is granted to a company upon completion of testing in accordance with RecyClass Recyclability Evaluation Protocols. It confirms the full or limited compatibility of a technology with a specific recycling stream, enabling companies to make Business-to-Business (B2B) claims about the recyclability of their product. Companies looking to make Business-to-Consumer claims would need to undergo a Recyclability Certification.

The Technology Approvals are granted by the RecyClass Technical Committees and conducted in collaboration with RecyClass Testing Facilities.
