Packaging - Design for recycling for plastic packaging - Part 6: Guideline for PE and PP rigid packaging prEN 18120-6 rev

Scope

This document covers the design of any rigid packaging with the main body of the packaging unit predominantly made of PE or PP and the design of separate components predominantly made of rigid PE or rigid PP, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collection, sorting and recycling processes and useability of the recyclates in an application.
Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with PE or PP polymer recycling.
