Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Review packaging materials, layers, inks, adhesives, labels and closures to judge whether they can be recycled in practice.
Check packaging designs against recyclability guidelines and standards that apply to the product and the target market.
Assess whether colours, components or mixed materials could disrupt sorting or recycling processes.
Prepare recyclability reports and technical documents for internal teams, customers and regulators.
Track changes in packaging rules and advise design, procurement and marketing teams on what needs to change.
Work with suppliers and local recyclers to confirm that materials can be collected and processed in the markets where the product is sold.
Support internal audits and checks before a company makes a 'recyclable' claim on pack labels.
