About this training

Summary

This document covers the design of any flexible packaging with the main body of the packaging unit predominantly made of PE or PP and the design of separate components predominantly made of flexible PE or flexible PP, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collection, sorting and recycling processes and useability of the recyclates.
Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with PE or PP polymer recycling.
