Recyclable packaging for the future: Expertise and solutions for a sustainable circular economy

Recycling is an important element in the sustainable use of resources. Recyclability can be determined for single packaging as well as for goods. It is an individual attribute and, as a gradual indicator, an expression and instrument of applied product responsibility.

Assessing recyclability can provide critical information for the optimisation of packaging and goods. For this it is necessary to create a scientifically proven, comprehensible and transparent basis for requirements and evaluation criteria.

The Institute cyclos-HTP has designed the CHI Recyclability Standard for assessing and certifying the recyclability of packaging and goods. Based on the requirements of the catalogue will

• packaging materials be analysed,
• sorting, processing and recycling capabilities be tested,
• certificates and reports be issued, and
• (if desired) authorisation for use of a label be granted.
