Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-31

RecyClass plastic packaging compatibility with the entire waste management chain, including the ability to collect, sort, **and ** materials in the original application.

According to recyclass, the requirements for the audit plan are based on the guidelines and can be designed by the recyclass.

In order to meet the needs of the entire plastics value chain, RecyClass has developed several types of plastic packaging that can be evaluated

*Certified design qualitatively classifies the final technology of plastic packaging from A to F. This assessment can be carried out by all accredited certification bodies. Yieldability certification evaluates the effective availability of final plastic packaging in a specific geographic area. Please check which certification bodies are available in your geographic area of interest. Compatibility and qualitative assessment of the feasibility of semi-finished product packaging. All accredited certification bodies can provide a certificate of compatibility.

Certification process.

1.Check your eligibility for certification.

In order to be eligible for assessability, all design features of your package must be included in the recyclass.

In addition, only the final package placed on the market is eligible for certification, as any further design changes may alter the compatibility. Still, semi-finished packaging can be evaluated and a compatibility certificate obtained.

2.Select a certification body and submit the application form.

Choose an accredited certification body who will provide you with an application form and guide you through the process. A certification body is an independent third-party body.

3.Sign the certification agreement and provide information.

Sign the certification agreement and NDA formal application. The certification body will provide a list of the evaluation process and documentation required for the product prior to the on-site audit.

4.Organize audits and obtain certificates.

Certification is granted after the auditor has successfully performed the audit. The certificate is valid for three years. It must then be re-reviewed.

5.Use recyclass declarations and flags to improve comprehension.

Organizations are welcome to use the corresponding certified product recyclass mark.

To develop an audit plan for the use of processes and materials, RecyClass has established a centralized center for the certification of plastics.

A growing number of legislative requirements and industry commitments require uniform and verifiable handling practices, traceability of waste, and transparent absorption** materials in new high-end applications. The monitoring of the targets set at the EU level will require a transparent report.

For example, Spain's plastic tax requirements are based on UNE EN 15343:2008 for the certification of recycled plastics, issued by an accredited ISO 17065 certification body.

RecyClass certifications can be used as audit certificates using EN 15343:2007, which is equivalent to UNE EN 15343:2008, as they meet the requirements of an audit certificate.

The ** Process and Traceability Certification, which monitors the objectives of the Circular Plastics Alliance, is a recognized audit program.

The purpose of this certification is to identify the plastic processes of pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, in accordance with the provisions of the Process Conformity Assessment Program.

Certification under this audit program allows vendors to demonstrate their contribution to plastic waste management and inform waste in a transparent manner. The certification of the process is an audit of the origin of the plastic chain of custody. Certification organizations can trust all plastics value chain actors to continue to increase the use of plastics.
