CIRCPACK by Veolia is a consultancy of international experts in packaging, recycling and EPR
Trusted by global brand owners
CIRCPACK is an independent packaging recycling consultancy, part of the Veolia Group, with 25+ years of expertise across collection, sorting & reprocessing of plastics, glass, metals, paper & cardboard, and beverage cartons. We operate from six European offices (Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, London, Madrid and Paris) and serve 35+ Fortune 500 brand owners across the packaging value chain.
We are material-agnostic, neutral and independent. We have our experts in Material Recovery Facilities every week, so every recommendation is grounded in what real sorting and reprocessing lines do today. We are an accredited Certifying Body for RecyClass and RECY:CHECK. Our Recycling Intelligence Platform covers more than 150 markets with continuously validated EPR, legislation and recycling-system data.
CIRCPACK experts sit inside operational Material Recovery Facilities every week. Every recommendation is grounded in what real sorting and reprocessing lines actually do today, not what specifications say they should do.
CIRCPACK is an accredited Certifying Body for RecyClass (plastics) and RECY:CHECK (beverage cartons). We also operate our proprietary CERTIFY certification scheme for glass, metals, paper and cardboard.
The Recycling Intelligence Platform tracks the recyclability, collection, sorting, reprocessing, and producer-fee context for packaging across more than 150 markets. Furthermore, maturity rankings provide additional insight into the landscape of each country.
CIRCPACK is part of the Veolia Group, which provides operational scale across collection, recovery and reprocessing infrastructure in many countries. This is a great way to get access to local knowledge and facilities. At the same time, our work is completely independent. Recommendations follow the evidence, not any commercial interests.
We assess plastics, glass, metals, paper & cardboard and beverage cartons against the same methodological backbone: collection, sorting, reprocessing, application. We do not advocate for one material over another. Where a brand owner asks us to compare formats, we do so on the evidence.
There is a lot of pressure on packaging producers by: Customer demand, retailer requirements, legislation, market pledges, NGO’s, taxation and eco-modulation. All this provides the incentive to ensure your packaging is recyclable. This is where we can support you in navigating this ever evolving global landscape of recycling and legislation.
