Packaging needs in the waste and recycling industry are specific and designed to ensure the safe handling, transport and efficient recycling of waste materials.
Safety requirements:
-
- Dangerous goods packaging: Special, safety-compliant packaging must be used for hazardous waste that complies with international and national regulations (e.g. ADR).
- Tightness and stability: Packaging must be tight and stable to prevent leaks and the escape of hazardous substances.
Robustness and durability:
-
- Durability: Packaging must be robust enough to withstand the harsh conditions of waste collection, transport and storage.
- Weather resistance: Packaging that is stored outdoors must be weatherproof to protect the contents from rain, snow and UV radiation.
Labelling and provision of information:
-
- Clear labelling: Packaging must be clearly labelled to identify the contents, the type of waste and any necessary safety measures.
- Colour coding: Colour-coded packaging can make it easier to identify and sort different types of waste
Specific requirements:
-
- Types of waste: Different types of waste (e.g. organic waste, electronic waste, construction waste) require specific packaging tailored to the type and nature of the waste.
- Moisture protection: Packaging for moist or liquid waste must offer special barriers against moisture and liquids.
Cost and efficiency considerations:
-
- Cost optimisation: Packaging must be cost efficient to minimise the overall cost of waste disposal and recycling.
- Transport efficiency: Lightweight and space-saving packaging can lower transport costs and reduce environmental impact.
