Recycling

King’s Lynn paper mill to shift from newsprint production to recycled corrugated case materials as demand for fibre-based packaging grows.

Jordan’s advanced legislative framework is anchored by the Environmental Protection Law of 2017, the Waste Management Framework Law of 2020, and the Hazardous Waste Management Regulation of 2020.

The design principles included in V7 were developed by the AIP and globalised by the WPO, and apply to all certified organisations involved in the design of primary packaging and packaging materials.

The program expansion, which aligns with RecyClass’s Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification standard, allows businesses to validate recycled-content claims.

Under the partnership, Itochu Metals will collect used Daikin commercial air conditioners, oversee dismantling and separation of components such as heat exchangers and motors, and coordinate with specialised scrap processors to recover high-purity aluminium, iron and copper.

The centre will provide independent, research-backed support to SMEs transitioning to reusable, recyclable and compostable packaging solutions.

Participants were taken through practical sessions on plastic waste handling, recycling opportunities, occupational safety and environmental best practices.

AAI has proposed retaining the current 2.5% Basic Customs Duty on all aluminium scrap until BIS standards are notified and grade-wise HSN codes are introduced.

The buyback scheme is specifically designed for HPMC’s branded glass bottles used for packaging fruit products, including apple juice, jams, preserves and squashes, ensuring that the packaging materials are recovered and reprocessed rather than discarded as waste.

The certification process includes rigorous audits of material sourcing, production records and quality control systems to ensure full traceability of recycled content throughout the manufacturing cycle.
