TruCycle is a stepwise evaluation of the recyclability or
compostability of product packaging. TruCycle is offered in
a standard or customized format based on client needs.
HOW IT WORKS
| RECYCLABILITY | COMPOSTABILITY |
|---|---|
|
COLLECTION: Assess inclusion/exclusion of packaging in community recycling programs. SORTABILITY: Evaluate packaging’s movement through MRF and probability of inclusion in correct bale. END MARKETS: Assess compatibility of package design and the marketability of the bale for reprocessors |
COLLECTION: Assess material acceptance at community organics programs. COMPOSTABILITY: Evaluate material compatibility with composter configurations. END MARKETS: Determine the acceptability of the 90- to 120- day finished compost to end users by evaluating nutrient value, resale value or use. |
THE RESULT
RRS delivers a detailed account of how compatible a
material is with each life cycle stage of the analysis, along
with a high-level summary in a report card format.
ACTIONABLE BENEFITS
 |
Develop complete understanding of recyclability or compostability of the packaging. |
 |
Develop informed internal and external recyclability or compostability communications. |
 |
Confirm existing, or influence new, design-for-recyclability or design-for-compostability innovation success. |
 |
Customize the assessment or combine with a screening level life cycle assessment (LCA). |
TRUCYCLE INTERNATIONAL
TruCycle International is based in a location outside of the U.S. and includes a solid waste and recycling overview in addition to the traditional TruCycle assessment.
