Regulatory pressure is increasing—especially in the EU and U.S.—but recyclable packaging is often misunderstood or mislabeled. Products that appear recyclable may fail local standards, trigger EPR fees, or get rejected by material recovery facilities.
CPM evaluates both the material and the infrastructure around it. We design fiber-based and mono-material solutions that meet recyclability standards, avoid problematic additives, and support compliance with EPR and international transparency requirements.
Not all “recyclable” films or fiber products make it through real recycling streams, or pass international packaging laws. Additives, binders, and multi-layer structures can turn a recyclable material into landfill waste.
