Design for recycling means that a pouch is designed so it can be recycled as effectively as possible after use.

The complete packaging matters. Not only the main material, but also the different layers, zipper, valve, adhesive, coating and ink. These parts can affect how well a pouch can be collected, sorted and recycled.

Learn more about recyclability.

Yes, a zipper can affect the recyclability of a pouch.

When packaging is assessed, it is not only the main material that matters. The zipper and other parts also play a role. It is therefore important that the materials match as closely as possible and can be processed together during recycling.

Choosing the right material for the zipper is therefore an important part of designing a recyclable pouch.
