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 beverage cartons.
Trusted by global brand owners
Twenty-five years of recycling fluency, organised into three services that brand owners and packaging producers buy from us today.
We’re material-agnostic and neutral: we don’t sell packaging materials, we sell judgement on whether yours actually recycles. Our auditors work inside Material Recovery Facilities across Europe. We are an accredited certifying body for RecyClass and RECY:CHECK, we operate our own CERTIFY scheme, and we run country specific assessments for the UK and German schemes.
Whether you need a single SKU tested or a portfolio-wide review across more than 150 markets, this practice covers it.
Accredited recyclability certificates for EPR submissions, eco-modulation claims and customer communications.
Country specific recyclability assessments for the UK and German schemes, with full eco-modulation eligibility analysis.
The packaging industry has spent two decades writing recyclability methodologies on paper. Real recycling lines are different. They have throughput constraints, near-infrared sensors with specific blind spots, optical sorters that miss black plastics, wash steps that struggle with certain inks.
We run the operational tests in actual sorting facilities — not because the methodologies say to, but because the brand owners we work with have learned that methodology assessments without operational validation are risky.
Of the more than 1,000 packaging assessments we ran in the last twelve months, nearly 30% changed class once we tested operationally versus what the desk study predicted.
How can you be sure your packaging is sorted correctly for recycling? And what are the challenges?
We test your packaging in operational sorting facilities in different countries and give you the operational truth.
Laboratory tests create clarity whether your packaging is compliant and fully recyclable.
Fast design-for-recyclability assessment against RecyClass, CERTIFY and RECY:CHECK guidelines. Five working days, all materials. No lab time required.
When your question does not fit the standard, we guide you with bespoke solutions.
Send us a packaging spec and we’ll come back within three business days with a proposal, the right methodology and a timeline.
