Definition av tervinningsbar frpackning Definition av tervinningsbar f rpackning F rslag F rslag A packaging as a functional unit, which can be effectively and efficiently separated from the waste stream, collected, sorted and aggregated into defined streams for recycling processes, and recycled at scale through relevant industrial processes such that it is turned into a secondary raw material of sufficient quality such that end markets exist in which it is valued as a substitute for virgin material
Design for Recycling Design for Recycling Criteria EU EU- -Commission Commission proposal Criteria proposal Performance Grades are suggested to define Recyclable Packaging A >95% of packaging unit compatible with recycling criteria, closed loop recycling, intrinsic properties fully preserved. B >90% compatible, small impediments to recycling, cloosed loop recycling, intrinsic properties preserved for majority of the recyclate. C >80% compatible, medium impediments to recycling, open loop recycling with some losses, intrinsic properties not well preserved. D >70% compatible, significant impediments to recycling, open loop recycling with large losses, minimum of intrinsic properties preserved. E <70% compatible, Not Recyclable Packaging
EU-Kommissionen har begrt std av CEN 1. European standard(s) on the process and criteria to evaluate the recyclability of plastic packaging. August 2025 2. European standard(s) on the definitions and principles for design-for recycling of plastic packaging. August 2025 3. European standardisation deliverables on design-for-recycling guidelines for plastic packaging products: polyolefins flexibles; polystyrene (PS) cups, trays and dairy packaging; polyolefins rigids; polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles; PET trays; expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging. August 2025
CEN TC 261 SC 4 CEN TC 261 SC 4 Packaging Packaging and the Environment and the Environment New Working Group: WG 10 Design for recycling for plastic packaging products WG 3 Material Recovery WG 3 CEN/TR 13504 Packaging - Material recovery - Criteria for a minimum content of recycled material to be revised WG 3 Option to develop standard on Design for recycling for all packaging materials framework discussion ongoing WG 3 Material recycling - Report on requirements for substances and materials to prevent a sustained impediment to recycling- Revised
General Principles in Packaging Design Tradeoffs between packaging functionality and recyclability should be avoided. Recyclability should not compromise functionality
