Mondi opens in-house recyclability testing laboratory at Frantschach mill, Austria to test paper and packaging containing non-paper components (e.g. coatings)
“Currently, 78% of Mondi’s group portfolio is either reusable, recyclable or compostable,” says Elisabeth Schwaiger, Head of R&D and IP Flexible Packaging, Mondi.
“This recycling lab enables us to move closer to our MAP2030 goals of making 100% of our products fulfil these requirements by 2025.”
The data collected at the laboratory can determine whether the packaging can be efficiently recycled, to improve existing products and provide reliable information about their environmental impact.
Mondi also intends to use the results to determine how the new packaging design can be improved, as well as how best to improve the circularity of material flows.
The tests are carried out on various paper and paper-based packaging products developed by Mondi.
The laboratory operates similarly to industrial recycling facilities, but on a smaller scale. The results obtained provide concrete evidence that the material can be recycled.
