When looking for sustainable packaging materials, companies often turn to paper. But here too, sustainability and recyclability must be checked on a case-by-case basis. Interseroh+ is now introducing a test according to the Cepi standard to support companies in this process.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To make it easier for manufacturers and distributors to find their way around, the\u00a0Interseroh+<\/a> its established \"Made for Recycling\" testing portfolio and is now also offering the Evaluation of paper packaging according to a new methodology of the Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi)<\/strong> . The recycling specialists are among the first to enable their customers to assess paper packaging using the new Cepi methodology.<\/p>

\"With the 'Made for Recycling' packaging analysis, our customers show that they assess the recyclability of their packaging according to the highest standards. We are constantly developing our range of services and are not only focussing on the latest scientific findings and the requirements of the future, but also in particular on the real conditions of packaging recycling.\"<\/p>

With the scientific evaluation standard \"Made for Recycling\", which was developed together with the bifa Environmental Institute<\/a> and developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV<\/a> has been confirmed Interseroh+ already has extensive expertise and proven methods in packaging evaluation and optimisation<\/strong>.<\/p>

The further developed Methodology for assessing the recyclability of paper packaging was published by Cepi in October 2022<\/strong>. The evaluation scheme of the 4evergreen Alliance - an association of companies from the entire fibre-based packaging value chain - is based on the Cepi method.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Their aim is to Increase the recycling rate to over 90 per cent by 2030 and establish a uniform evaluation standard in Europe<\/strong>. The Cepi method is considered to be particularly practical. Differences to current standards such as the PTS method (PTS-RH 021:2012) lie, for example, in the differentiation between coarse and fine rejects, the determination of macrostickies and a shorter dissolution time in the pulper.<\/p>
