The evidence

XX %, your verified recyclability

The percentage on the trustmark indicates the actual recyclability of your packaging, the share that can be recovered through existing recycling systems. It is assessed against the Minimum Standard (§ 21 (3) VerpackG), DIN EN 13430, ISO 15270 and the PPWR criteria with performance levels A to C.
