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 more than 25 years of expertise across the collection, sorting and reprocessing of plastics, glass, metals, paper and cardboard, and food and beverage cartons. We work from six European offices (Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, London, Madrid and Paris) and serve more than 35 Fortune 500 brand owners across the packaging value chain.
Packaging producers are under pressure from every direction: customer demand, retailer requirements, legislation, market pledges, NGOs, taxation and eco-modulation. Our job is to help you navigate it. The three commitments below are how.
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 (food and beverage cartons). We also operate our proprietary CERTIFY certification scheme for glass, metals, paper and cardboard.
See certifications →The Recycling Intelligence Platform tracks the recyclability, collection, sorting, reprocessing and producer-fee context for packaging across more than 150 markets. Maturity rankings add a view of how developed each country’s recycling system is.
Explore the Platform →CIRCPACK is part of the Veolia Group, which gives us operational scale across collection, recovery and reprocessing infrastructure in many countries, and access to local knowledge and industrial facilities. At the same time, our work is completely independent. Recommendations follow the evidence, not commercial interests.
We assess plastics, glass, metals, paper and cardboard and food 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.
Ensure your packaging is recyclable! We run full recyclability assessments, sorting tests and laboratory tests for your packaging - covering all household packaging made of plastics, glass, metals, paper & cardboard, and food and beverage cartons.
At CIRCPACK we work inside the Material Recovery Facilities that Veolia operates. That gives us a working view of how PPWR will be applied on the ground. And through our accredited roles at RecyClass and RECY:CHECK, we sit inside the technical discussions shaping the delegated acts and harmonised standards.
Eco-modulation is now the rule, not the exception. CIRCPACK models the fee impact of every design change you are considering, across the markets your packaging lands in.
CIRCPACK consultants pair regulatory expertise with operational data from our auditors. The work spans portfolio strategy, market-entry decisions and PPWR readiness.
Everything you need to understand the recycling of your packaging in more than 150 markets: infrastructure maturity across 50 formats, the local situation on collection, sorting and reprocessing, EPR fees, deposit schemes, labelling requirements and recycling rates.
Self-paced online video classes, live masterclasses online or in person, and guided visits through an operational sorting facility, so your teams understand household packaging recycling, EPR and the current regulatory landscape.
