This taxonomy page defines the SVHCs that must be tracked for packaging compliance, separate from other specific restrictions like those for Heavy Metals or PFAS under the PPWR. == 🏛️ Definition and Legal Basis == An SVHC is a substance that has been identified as having intrinsic ha...")

While this sounds straightforward, the precise classification of a material as "plastic" is '''not globally uniform'''. The classification used for compliance, particularly for **Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)**, is a specific legal definition that may differ from a purely scientific one. This page outlines the difference between the scientific...")
07:48, 10 November 2025 ‎Composite Packaging Materials - TX (hist | edit) ‎[4,748 bytes] ‎HansdG (talk | contribs) (Created page with "= Composite Packaging Materials = '''Composite Packaging Materials''' are packaging materials made of two or more different material types that are **permanently combined** and **cannot be separated manually** without damaging the structure. Composites typically serve a technical purpose such as barrier protection, sealing, or rigidity, but they complicate sorting and recycling. == Definition == According to the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC, Ar...")
07:19, 10 November 2025 ‎Polymers - TX (hist | edit) ‎[2,914 bytes] ‎HansdG (talk | contribs) (Created page with "= Polymer = '''Polymer''' refers to macromolecular materials composed of long-chain repeating units (monomers) that can be shaped, moulded, or cast into packaging components. Polymers represent one of the most important material classes in packaging and can behave either as traditional plastics or as functional elastomers, foams, or coatings. Under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, polymers are divided into two groups based on their treatment in coll...")

It is the standard household '''Collection Stream''' used in the Netherlands for the separate collection of lightweight packaging waste. PMD is the entry point of the circularity process for many consumer packaging materials. It combines multiple material types in one bin or bag, which are later separated into individual '''Sorting Streams''' such as plastics, m...")
15:19, 7 November 2025 ‎Circularity Streams - TX (hist | edit) ‎[3,132 bytes] ‎HansdG (talk | contribs) (Created page with "= Circularity Streams = '''Circularity Streams''' describe the pathways through which packaging and products move after use, from collection to sorting and recycling (and potentially reuse or recovery). Each Circularity Stream represents a stage in the circular flow of materials and defines the interfaces between collection systems, sorting operations, and recycling processes within a given market. Circularity Streams are used in the IMDE Information Model to harmonize...")

The optimal process depends on substrate, run length, artwork complexity, cost, lead time, and sustainability targets. This page covers technologies commonly used for labels, bottles, cans, flexible films, folding cartons, corrugated packaging, and wraps. == Quick Comparison == {| class="wikita...")

[Category:Taxonomy]]")
14:36, 17 October 2025 ‎Packaging Class - TX (hist | edit) ‎[2,537 bytes] ‎HansdG (talk | contribs) (Created page with "= Packaging Class = ; DataTopic: Packaging Specification ; Purpose: Define the functional role of each component within a packaging assembly (BOM view) to enable consistent data exchange for PPWR/ EPR, DPP, and commercial listing. == Overview == In IMDE, a ''Packaging Assembly'' is modeled as a set of components that together form the packaging part of a '''Sales Unit = Product + Packaging'''. Each component is assigned a '''Packaging Class''' based on its functional...")
