APR Global Compliance Catalog
Harmonizing design for recyclability across the globe is a challenging endeavor for companies of any size. APR’s Global Compliance Catalog provides the world’s recyclability requirements for plastic packaging, all in one place.
Global Compliance At Your Fingertips
Every country handles recycling collection and processing differently. Many countries oversee complex extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs that hold manufacturers and suppliers accountable for the end-of-life fate of packaging materials. EPR programs in virtually all jurisdictions reference a unique design for recyclability index to encourage companies to design more sustainable packaging.
APR’s Global Compliance Catalog provides an introduction to the relevant authorities in each country and gives you all the design requirements at your fingertips. The guidelines are provided in a standardized format to assist you in comparing and contrasting systems in different countries.
