If it is composed of a single type of material without too many composite layers or coatings, it is generally recyclable.
How to judge whether a flexible packaging bag is recyclable?
Some packaging bags will be marked with material compliance. In addition, we can apply for a test report from the packaging bag supplier. Or a flexible packaging supplier provides samples, and we find a testing agency for testing.
Henan Baolai Packaging continues to follow green development, launched compostable stand-up bags, and provides test reports. We will continue to achieve recyclable and compostable raw materials for all products.
The European Union announced in February 2025 that the new packaging box packaging waste regulations will take effect on the 11th. The purpose of the regulations is to reduce the market size of packaging waste and increase recycling. This regulation replaces the 1994 “Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive”.
Packaging: refers to any item used to contain, protect, handle, transport or display products to other people or end users.
Classification: primary production packaging, sales packaging, grouping packaging, transport packaging, e-commerce packaging, takeaway packaging.
June 2: EU Green Week launched a discussion on how to enhance European competitiveness by embedding circular economy principles in all areas, in addition to exploring how to use the limited resources of the Union to reduce dependence on third-country raw material suppliers.
Packaging recyclability targets & classifications: Class A is defined as a recyclability rate ≥ 95%, Class B is defined as a recyclability rate ≥ 80%, and Class C is defined as a recyclability rate ≥ 70% (calculated per unit weight).
The regulation considers a package to be recyclable if it meets the following conditions:
Designed for material recovery;
Can be recycled so that the secondary raw materials produced are of sufficient quality to replace the primary raw materials;
Can be collected separately effectively and efficiently in accordance with regulations;
Can be sorted into specific waste streams without affecting the recyclability of other waste streams; and
Can be recycled on a large scale.
