Joint testing reduces duplication
Over the past year, both organizations coordinated testing campaigns and technical studies. They shared and evaluated test data jointly. Where relevant, the findings were adopted by the technical committees of each organization.
According to APR and RecyClass, this approach reduced duplicated work and improved consistency in recyclability evaluations.
Focus remains on design for recycling
The organizations will continue joint testing to strengthen design-for-recycling guidelines across different packaging formats.
Their work aims to improve global alignment, increase consistency in recyclability standards, and support packaging that can be recycled more effectively worldwide.
