This document covers the design of any bottle with the main body of the packaging unit predominantly made of PET and the design of separate components predominantly made of PET, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collecting, sorting and recycling processes and useability of the recyclates in an application.
Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PET are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with PET polymer recycling.
