UPM Raflatac has launched its new Packaging Recyclability Guide, designed to help consumer goods (FMCG) stakeholders across the packaging value chain navigate the complexities of packaging design and recyclability. The new guide, which is available as a free e-book on the company’s website, offers information on the guidelines, definitions and criteria to help make informed label choices that will enhance recyclability.
With the emergence of the EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the focus on packaging circularity at this present time, mastering the intricacies of packaging sustainability and fortifying packaging solutions for the future has never been more essential. Although many companies have already made voluntary commitments to targets, such as using 100 percent recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging, deciding the best way to achieve these goals can be challenging.
UPM Raflatac’s new guide explains how by designing for recyclability, businesses can potentially avoid or reduce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, making the switch to recyclable materials an even more attractive prospect.
The UPM Raflatac Packaging Recyclability Guide details the SmartCircle label materials that are recycling compatible in different recycling streams and offers advice on how to make decisions that align with the current guidelines.
