IPC has numerous equipment to ensure the level of quality and recyclability of your packaging from a usage and regulatory point of view. Some of this equipment makes it possible to carry out the tests planned to obtain RecyClass accreditation:

• A recycling line including the equipment necessary for processing flexibles and or rigid plastic objects (size reduction, dust removal, washing, separation by flotation, drying and preparation of mixtures).
• Regeneration/filtration equipment (extrusion and filtration of the melt with defined sieve sizes)
• Equipment for transforming regenerated pellets (cast-film extrusion, injection of standardized test pieces and extrusion-blowing of bottles).
• And, laboratory analysis equipment to characterize the properties of the recycled pellets and objects (physico-chemical, aesthetic and mechanical properties).

Certification possibilities: Technology Approval

• Packaging including an innovation not entirely covered by Recyclass’ Design for Recycling guidelines
• The packaging will follow the Recyclability Evaluation Protocol for PP Films or PE Films (also available for rigid objects)
