Packaging - Design for recycling of plastic packaging - Part 11: Recyclability evaluation process for plastic packaging - Protocols for PET rigid packaging (except bottles)

Scope

This document provides requirements for the evaluation process of any rigid PET packaging that does not fall within the definition of a PET bottle as outlined in Part 4 of this document, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collection, sorting and recycling processes, and the characterization of the output(s) compared to a reference material.
Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PET are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with PET polymer recycling.
