Dive into how Indian material recovery facilities (MRFs) sort packaging — and design to make their job easy. You'll master mono-material design, barrier selection, and avoid common 'recyclability killers' like carbon black and oxo-degradable additives.
Small components can make or break recyclability. This module covers closure materials, label adhesives, and printing inks. You'll design a 'fully recyclable' package from scratch — choosing every component wisely.
Tackle the hardest packaging challenges: multi-layer composites, metallisation, foamed materials, and special formats like stand-up pouches. Learn when compromises are acceptable and how to document trade-offs.
Turn knowledge into action. Learn India's EPR rules, how to collaborate with recyclers, and how to communicate circularity to consumers. Build a 90-day action plan for your organisation.
