KIDV: Recycling check for paper and cardboard packaging

The Knowledge Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV) published a new Recycle Check for Paper and Cardboard Packaging on 20 October 2020. The Recycle Check is an aid to one of the many choices that packaging designers - but also marketers and buyers, for example - have to make when they bring a new product or new packaging onto the market.

The Recycle Check Paper and Cardboard Packaging consists of a decision tree and a list of points for attention. The decision tree is used to check whether a packaging is collected after use and offered for recycling. The user is asked a brief number of questions about the material and about packaging components that influence recycling. The questions can always be answered with a yes or no answer. The KIDV provides background information for each question and point of attention. On the basis of the points for attention and background information, the recyclability of the packaging can be improved.
