How Can the Packaging Team Help You?

At RECOUP we aim to advance understanding around the plastic circular economy, resource efficiency, recycling, and re-use to protect the environment. We can help our members to achieve this by sharing knowledge from our expert team, collaborating with our connections within the industry and using our onsite laboratory service

Available to our members are a range of informative technical guidance documents, a library of in-depth reports, and a variety of in-house testing services at our on-site laboratory; including tests such as near infrared analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and wash testing for fibre loss, ink bleeding and adhesive reactions.

Thanks to our members support, RECOUP can also provide subsidised project rates to encourage new engaging opportunities by offering bespoke project research and reporting tailored to your specific requests. Our high levels of expertise and personalised guidance can help you research end-markets and improve the recyclability of your packaging by assessing pack design, materials, colours, barriers, labelling and NIR detection and where appropriate undertake a life cycle assessment to make more informed, sustainable decisions.
