Welcome to Henkel‘s in-house Packaging Recyclab. We offer comprehensive recyclability assessments of fibre-based packaging materials. The results can be used to develop and improve materials towards a circular economy.
Our packaging recyclab helps with legal requirements related to the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation). Testing labs are crucial in meeting stricter recycling targets, promoting circular economy practices and minimising waste.

- Cepi/4evergreen
- Cyclos-HTP Institute (CHI)
This test method was developed by the 4evergreen cross-industry alliance to provide a future-ready standard methodology for Europe for proving the recyclability of fibre based packaging in paper mills. We focus on the methodology for mills with a conventional process.

The CHI test protocol was developed by the independent experts at Cyclos-HTP. It delivers a full report and potentially a legally binding certificate. Please note that we will perform the paper tests for the certificate, but for all further operations and testing you will be directed to CHI to request the test.
- Following CHI x Henkel protocol including two pulping times
- Delivers evidence and legally binding certificate from CHI (optional)
- Includes assessment of real recycling paths (sortability, contaminants etc.)
- 100% PPWR conformity
Discover more about the testing steps by interacting with the hotspots on the picture below.
Impurities are removed by filtration trough 5 mm (coarse) and 150 µm (fine) sieves to obtain rejects
The paper sheets are assessed for their visual impurities and sheet adhesion.
