Berlin\/Cologne. With “Fit for Recycling,” Interzero is launching a new service that enables companies across Europe to reliably, practically, and cost-effectively assess the recyclability of packaging. The process is based on the analysis of specifications, supplemented by laboratory tests at the Competence Center for Recycling Plastics, and delivers clear results in a recyclability report including PPWR grading. <\/p>\n
The introduction comes at a crucial time: with the planned Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the European Union is significantly tightening the requirements for the recyclability of packaging<\/strong> . From 2030, only packaging that meets certain recyclability criteria will be allowed on the market. Germany has been a pioneer in this field for years \u2013 and Interzero actively contributes its many years of expertise to European committees and discussions. The established, laboratory-based methodology “Made for Recycling” offers scientifically sound testing that analyzes packaging under realistic conditions. Packaging that successfully passes this process is permitted to bear the “Made for Recycling” seal<\/strong> \u2013 a visible quality feature that provides clear guidance for both retailers and consumers. With “Fit for Recycling”, manufacturers and distributors now have a specific, practical assessment tool at their disposal. It clearly shows whether and to what extent their packaging meets future regulatory requirements \u2013 and at the same time identifies concrete optimization potential<\/strong> for the further development of packaging design. <\/p>\n “With Fit for Recycling, we offer companies a straightforward way to check their packaging for PPWR compliance in a timely manner,” explains Jonathan Scheck, packaging engineer at Interzero. “Our customers benefit from a well-founded analysis based on real-world packaging specifications and backed by laboratory data \u2013 fast, reliable, and practical.”[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”171404″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_separator sep_color=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”114130″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”137313″]<\/p>\n About Interzero:<\/strong><\/div>\n Interzero is one of the leading service providers for closing product, material and logistics cycles and an innovation leader in plastics recycling with the largest sorting capacity in Europe.
