The practice in three parts.
Twenty-five years of recycling fluency, organised into three discrete services that brand owners and packaging producers buy from us today.
We're material-agnostic and neutral — we don't sell substrate, we sell judgement on whether yours actually recycles. We have auditors inside Material Recovery Facilities across Europe, accredited certifying-body status with RecyClass, CERTIFY and RECY:CHECK, and country-specific assessment capability for the UK and German schemes.
Whether you need a single SKU tested or a portfolio-wide review across 47 markets, this practice covers it.
Where to start.
Certify.
Accredited recyclability certificates for use in EPR submissions, eco-modulation claims and customer communications.
- RecyClass — plastics
- CERTIFY — glass, metals, paper, cardboard
- RECY:CHECK — beverage cartons
Country-specific.
Country-specific recyclability assessments for the UK and German schemes, with full eco-modulation eligibility analysis.
- RAM — UK Recyclability Assessment Methodology
- Mindeststandard — German minimum standard
- EN 13430:2004 compliance
Why we test on real lines.
The packaging industry has spent two decades writing recyclability methodologies on paper. Real recycling lines are different. They have throughput constraints, near-infrared sensors with specific blind spots, optical sorters that miss black plastics, wash steps that struggle with certain inks.
We run the operational tests in actual sorting facilities — not because the methodologies say to, but because the brand owners we work with have learned that methodology assessments without operational validation are risky.
Of the 1,200+ packaging assessments we ran in the last twelve months, 28% changed class once we tested operationally versus what the desk study predicted.
