ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS & CEN

The European Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste, which was presented in 1994, has made it a legal obligation for those involved in packaging to help to reduce the environmental impact of packaging waste.

The European Committee of Standardisation (CEN) has set standards which will help us to follow the Directive. This has been adopted as “harmonised standards” by the national standardization bodies in the EU member states, plus the Czech Republic, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.

CEN 13428 –Qualitative Prevention by Source Reduction
Packaging weight and volume should be minimised to the amount needed for safety and acceptance of the packed product. Noxious and other hazardous constituents of packaging should have a minimum impact on the environment at the end of life.

CEN 13429 – Reuse
CEN 13430 – Material Recycling
CEN 13431 – Energy Recovery
At the end of the route the packaging should be suitable for material recycling,
energy recovery or reuse.

Eltete TPM products comply with all these standards and are therefore recommended and suitable in all countries without restrictions.
