Recyclass certification aims at recognising the compatibility of plastic packaging with state-of-the-art recycling process established on the European market. It specifies requirements for companies pledging plastic packaging on the European market who wish to claim their recyclability under a comprehensive audit scheme.
IPC is accredited for HDPE, flexible and rigid PP and flexible PE.
Several certification possibilities exist:
Letter of Compatibility
- Semi-finished packaging (missing features such as printing, or closure system)
- The semi-finished packaging will be audited, based on the existence of a recycling stream (including collection & sorting) and the packaging’s structure.
 Recyclability Rate Certification
- Packaging entirely covered by Recyclass’ Design for Recycling guidelines
- The effective recyclability of the packaging will be audited for the specific geographical area of the certification body, based on the existence of a recycling stream (including collection & sorting) and the packaging’s structure.
Design for Recycling Certification
- Packaging entirely covered by Recyclass’ Design for Recycling guidelines
- The technical recyclability of the packaging will be audited for the EU market, based on the existence of a recycling stream (including collection & sorting) and the packaging’s structure.
