Regulation has turned packaging recyclability into a fee-bearing, market-access question. This checklist gives packaging teams five steps to move from reactive compliance to a data-led strategy.

A five-step framework, backed by real recovery data

  • Audit

    Learn how to baseline your portfolio's sortability

  • Act

    Rank your EPR exposure, and build an audit trail before fees and PPWR grades tighten

  • Backed by data

    Using data from real recovery facilities, not lab tests

See how your packaging performs in the real world

 

Small design choices, colour, coatings, sleeves, format, can change a product's recovery rate more than the material itself. The checklist shows the recovery data behind decisions like these, and what it means for your compliance position.

With the expansion of extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies, solutions like this can support teams in aligning internal goals with external requirements. It's a timely and practical tool for companies navigating new packaging rules and expectations.

AI-enabled waste intelligence tools have great potential to provide new visibility into how packaging is actually being sorted... to inform future packaging design, enable recyclability in practice and at scale, and increase the supply of high-quality recycled materials.
