Made for recycling - design your packaging to be recycling-friendly
Packaging analysis with Interzero: You want to check whether your packaging is as recyclable as possible? We accompany you on your way to optimally recyclable packaging and provide individually tailored suggestions for improvement. This is how we help to better achieve recycling goals.
The packaging analysis examines the recyclability of your packaging. The analysis initially serves to assess the current condition of the packaging and identify potential for improvement. The goal is to design the packaging so that it complies with the legal requirements of the target markets while also being optimally recyclable. Based on the laboratory analysis, manufacturers can take targeted measures to make their packaging more environmentally friendly and meet the requirements of different countries. Ultimately, improving recyclability contributes to increasing the ecological sustainability of the packaging and reducing its environmental impact.
Would you like to know what the recyclability of your packaging looks like?
Our scientifically based packaging analysis “Made for Recycling” provides the answer. The evaluation methodology was developed together with the bifa Umweltinstitut and reviewed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV. Our experts analyze your packaging samples according to standardized criteria, provide you with comprehensive advice and work with you to develop sustainable and practical optimization proposals. So you are well equipped.
If your packaging is classified as good or very good recyclable after the packaging analysis, you as a manufacturer can integrate our recycling seal into your packaging design. The “Made for Recycling Interzero” seal is a registered trademark in the EU.
This is how the analysis of your packaging works:
1 packaging sample
- Sending the packaging samples: You send us your relevant packaging samples that you would like to check for their recyclability
- Offer: Based on the packaging samples we can send you your offer
2 Analysis
- Initial analysis of packaging in Austria
- Analysis of material properties: Plastic packaging is subjected to a detailed analysis in the Competence Center for Recycled Plastics
- Recognized evaluation methodology: Together with the bifa environmental institute, the packaging is analyzed according to standardized criteria
3 Reporting
- Interzero Reporting: You will receive your detailed list of the analyses carried out and the resulting evaluations
- Final evaluation: Based on the evaluations, individual recommendations for action and optimization measures can be developed
- Improving the packaging design: Depending on your needs, we can support you in the direct implementation of the optimized packaging design through our ongoing service "Made 4 Circle"

"Made for Recycling" - Seal of Quality as a Signal for Your Customers
Packaging that bears the “Made for Recycling” seal of approval is good or very good at recycling.
Score points with your customers – with sustainable sales arguments: “Made for Recycling”, the scientific analysis standard for the recyclability of packaging, is recognized in Austria and internationally. Not only the materials used are examined, but also the sortability and the method of disposal. If packaging receives more than 18 out of a total of 20 possible points according to this evaluation method, it is allowed to bear the seal.
