Sample packaging will be tested to ensure the design and material are compatible with UK recycling collections, sorting and recovery infrastructure.
Testing for plastic packaging will determine:
- If the pack type and material is collected in the UK
- If the pack size and type and material/materials combination can be sorted at typical UK Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) and Plastics Recovery Facilities (PRF)
- If there are end markets for recyclate derived from the resulting material stream
