Design for Recycling Table
Nature of the fibres:
Natural cellulosic defibrated fibers (any sources : wood, bamboo, sugarcan pulp, bagasse ...)
Application:
- Paper-cardboard
- Corrugated cardboard
- Molded/moulded cellulose
- Translucent/ transparent papers
Nature of the fibres:
- Synthetic fibres : plastics, regenerated celluloses (as Viscose, Cellophane, Lyocell, Modal ...)
- Undefibrated raw material (wood, bamboo, palm tree leaf, cocoa pods, raw bagasse...)
Those materials are not paper-cardboard
Application:
- Reinforced paper-cardboard (metalic, plastic, textile,..)
You have to differentiate the plants from the paper cardboard which contains cellulosic fibers.
See Glossary for more explanations
- Unbleached pulp
- Bleached pulp
- Mass tinted pulp
Avoid bright and dark colors in the mass.
- Mass tinted pulp
- Non defibrated vegetables debris incorporated into the paper pulp (grass debris, cocoa shell debris...)
- Synthetic fibers (plastics, regenerated cellulose as Viscose, Cellophane, Lyocell, Modal ...)
- Wet strength treatment with a sufficient pulping test after < 45 minutes
- Wet strenght treatment with an unsufficient pulping after 45 minutes
Example of wet strenght treatment: PAE (Polyamide Amine Epichlorhydrine)
The sufficient pulping time is verifiable through a laboratory test
- Extrusion of lamination*3 of plastic layers: PE,PP, PLA,PET, other resin, excluding PVC/PVdC
- silicone paper
- Cellophane
- PE/aluminium
- Aluminium film
- Paraffin (Wax for paper)
- Sufurated paper
*1 : mineral fillers in the mass are counted in the papier cardboard weight.
*² : PVC/ PVdC generates chlorine emissions during the energetic reuse process of recycling industrial wastes.
*3 If the paper-cardboard content in the packaging is near 50 %, please check that the reject rate is less than 50%. (another condition to claim that a paper-cardboard packaging is recylcable)
- Paper tape
- Staples
- Paper & board cover (molded fibers,...)
- Translucent paper windows (cristal, glassine,...)
- Plastic tape, glue/ adhesives
- Plastic windows or other plastic object (cover, caps ...) excl. PVC / PVdC*²
- Others materials (metal, wood, etc.)
- PVC/ PVdC *²
*² : PVC/ PVdC generates chlorine emissions during the energetic reuse process of recycling industrial wastes.
- Paper label
- Plastic label (excluding PVC / PVdC *²)
- Wet Strenght paper label
- Label with PVC / PVdC *²
*² : PVC/ PVdC generates chlorine emissions during the energetic reuse process of recycling industrial wastes.
- Intense and bleeding colors
- Inks with more than 1% of MOSH et MOAH (Mineral Oils)
- Screenable adhesives
these adhesives will be weel eliminated at the screening step
these adhesives will be dispersed in the water process
- Partially dispersables or non screenable adhesives
Can generate stickies (impacts on the paper quality and machineries)
- Wineskin (BagInBox ®)
- RFID Chips
- Regenerated cellulose
- Aluminum lamination or Vacuum metallisation in the internal layer*
-Aluminum lamination or Vacuum metallisation - Coverage rate ≤ 50% of the total surface of the outer layer** of the packaging.
*Internal layer: layer of the packaging not visible by the naked eye (that is, covered by an opaque layer, excluding printing), which is not the one first detected by optical sorting.
**Outer layer: the layer of the packaging visible by the naked eye, which is the first one detected by optical sorting.
- Detectable dark colourant
- Not detectable dark colourant
Detectable colourant: consult the positive list of detectable colourants on the COCET website (www.cocet.fr)
- Foil stamping, metallic inks, aluminium lamination or vacuum metallisation – Coverage rate ≤ 50% of the total surface of the outer layer* of the packaging
- Detectable dark colourant
- Not detectable dark colourant - Coverage rate ≤ 50% of the total surface of the outer layer* of the packaging
- Foil stamping, metallic inks, aluminium lamination or vacuum metallisation – Coverage rate > 50% of the total surface of the outer layer* of the packaging
- Not detectable dark colourant - Coverage rate > 50% of the total surface of the outer layer* of the packaging
*Outer layer: the layer of the packaging visible to the naked eye, which is the first one detected by optical sorting.
