Paper and board – Recyclability test for paper and board for recycling cen:proj:80069

Scope

Preliminary scope (subjected to changes)
This document describes a laboratory scale method for determining the key parameters for evaluating the level of recyclability of
paper and board-based materials and other cellulose fibre-based products, e.g. moulded fibre products, emulating the relevant
phases of standard paper and board recycling mills without deinking technology or other special features to recycle paper for
producing new paper and board.
This document considers only the minimum characteristics of paper and board that can be generally recycled. Therefore, it does not
take into consideration additional specifications necessary to valorise the paper and board for recycling using deinking technologies. It
also does not include parameters of recyclability in mills with specialised processing technology.
