RecyClass – Recyclability Certification
RecyClass is an audit-based third-party certification scheme assessing the recyclability of plastic packaging across the EU27+3 market. RecyClass certification evaluates packaging compatibility with the full waste management chain (collection, sorting, recycling, and reuse of recycled material), based on the RecyClass Design for Recycling Guidelines.
The certification requires a product assessment, with client samples submitted to TÜV AUSTRIA facilities for in-house testing, complemented by accredited laboratory testing where required.
TÜV AUSTRIA delivers the scheme through two evaluation pathways:
- Letter of Compatibility for semi-finished packaging (classes A–C), intended for B2B communication.
- Recyclability Certification for final plastic packaging, assessing effective recyclability within the collection, sorting, and recycling infrastructure of a specific geographical area, allowing use of the RecyClass mark on packaging to inform consumers about recyclability in their region.
Applicability
The certification is applicable to a wide range of organizations and industries, especially for:
- Packaging & FMCG
- Textile & Apparel
- Consumer Goods / Electronics
- Waste Management
