RecyClass

Demonstrate that your packaging is recyclable in Europe.

We evaluate the design for the recycling of your packaging and guide you through to RecyClass Certification with a validity of 3 years.

Why now

From 1 January 2030, packaging must be ≥ class C (≥70% recyclable by weight); from 2038, ≥ class B (≥80%). Failure to comply means it cannot be marketed.

Optimise materials, adhesives, inks and components to improve recyclability and reduce environmental footprint.

What we offer

Recyclability assessment and RecyClass certification
AINIA is recognised by RecyClass as a certification body in Spain, with accredited auditors.
