Recyclable Packaging Considerations

A starting point for discussing recyclable packaging options without overstating local collection or end-of-life outcomes.

Discuss a Material Choice
Food packaging material and label examples
Suitable packaging

Where it can be relevant.

  • Projects exploring material simplification
  • Brands that need to review packaging claims with their destination market
Advantages

Useful characteristics to consider.

  • Can help frame a material discussion around end-of-life goals
  • May offer a route to simpler material structures in suitable applications
Printing compatibility

Review material and artwork together.

Artwork and printing choices should be assessed together with the selected structure and intended claims.

Any food-contact, barrier or end-of-life requirement should be confirmed for the final construction and intended market.
