Neopac has successfully passed the RecyClass EN 15343 Audit at its Debrecen, Hungary manufacturing site. Neopac is the first tube manufacturer in Europe to achieve this certification, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainability and traceability in recycled plastic content.
 
Philippe Kern, Director of R&D and Quality Management, said, 
 
“Our achievement as the first certified tube manufacturer in Europe under EN 15343 marks a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. This audit is done meticulously and product-related, requiring precise verification that the recycled content in our tubes matches what we report.” 
 
EN 15343, a European standard titled “Plastics – Recycled Plastics – Plastics Recycling Traceability and Assessment of Conformity and Recycled Content,” outlines the requirements for verifying the traceability, recycled content, and quality conformity of recycled plastics. 
 
This certification establishes key principles, including traceability, which involves setting up a system to monitor the flow of certified recycled plastic materials across the production and supply chain. 
 
This standard is becoming crucial for the entire supply chain of recycled plastic materials, helping ensure that the products meet specific quality and content criteria.
 
By adhering to EN 15343, companies can enhance their sustainability practices and transparency in recycled plastic use, which is increasingly essential to meet regulatory and consumer demands across Europe.
 
Neopac’s Debrecen facility specializes in producing a variety of high-performance packaging solutions containing recycled content, including Polyfoil EcoPro tubes with diameters ranging from 30-50mm, as well as extruded tubes with diameters from 16-50mm.
