Abstract

This document covers the design of any rigid packaging which has its main component, in weight, predominantly made of EPS, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collecting, sorting, and recycling processes and useability of the recyclates in an application. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than EPS are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling. Unless otherwise stated, in the interests of better readability, 'EPS packaging' always includes 'EPS white goods packaging and fish boxes'.
