RecyClass Technology Approval
Technology Approval validates the compatibility of a specific technology with a determined recycling stream.
The technological validations carried out through RecyClass methods assess the recycling performance of an innovation against certain variables or known conditions.
The Recyclability Evaluation Protocols provide clear and proven guidance on the evaluation of recyclability of plastic packaging technologies or innovation materials and validates the compatibility of a specific technology (e.g. functional barrier, adhesive, etc.) with a determined recycling stream.
What it’s for
A recyclability protocol validates the compatibility of a specific technology (e.g. functional barrier, adhesive) with a given recycling stream.
- The main objective of evaluation protocols is to verify the recyclability of new and innovative materials in a standard recycling stream.
- These protocols verify the effect of these materials/structures in a controlled situation while bearing in mind the most restrictive scenario: a post-industrial, closed-loop recycling process.
- If materials have little or no effect on the standard performance of PE or PP in this type of recycling process, they will also have little or no effect on post-consumer recycling streams.
Benefits
- Competitive advantage
- Differentiation from other products and organizations
- Regulatory compliance assurance
- Access to the international market
How to get certified
In order to start validation work, the client must contact an approved laboratory.
In this case, AIMPLAS is certified to work on validations of:
Para poder comenzar con los trabajos de validación, el cliente debe ponerse en contacto con un laboratorio homologado.
Our solution
Phase 1: Pre-treatment: shredding and washing, and densification.
Phase 2: Extrusion: pelletizing of different mixtures and filtering
Phase 3: Conversion:
- Film extrusion
- Blown film extrusion for LDPE
- Cast film extrusion for PP
We have recognized pilot plants and laboratories for carrying out technological validation work (PP and PE FILM, Rigid PE and PS).
We bring added value to our clients through proximity throughout the process, flexibility, clarity and transparency, not to mention clear, comprehensible reporting.
AIMPLAS guarantees the highest technical competence and extensive experience in the field of issuing certificates in the recycling sector in a broad network of certified companies.
