Start with your product
Paper, film, labels, closures, coatings, inserts and adhesives can create different end-of-life questions within one package. A mono-material direction may simplify a brief, but does not prove local collection or sorting access.
Review the options
Compare material reduction, protection and the applicable recovery system together. A pack that loses product or fails in transit creates a different tradeoff from a well-matched package.
Confirm before approval
Request evidence for the exact claim, material structure and market. Avoid broad labels such as universally recyclable or biodegradable without qualified evidence and any required conditions.
