Estimado usuario:

¡Bienvenido de nuevo a la herramienta en línea RecyClass! Le informamos que, desde su última conexión, la herramienta se ha actualizado para reflejar la nueva versión de la Metodología de Reciclabilidad de RecyClass.

Los cambios en la metodología incluyen, entre otros:

• Revisión de las clases de reciclabilidad: supresión de las clases D, E y F.
• Revisión de las marcas de reciclabilidad.
• Revisión del cálculo del contenido de plástico reciclable.
• Supresión de las partes 4 y 5 de la etapa de evaluación de incompatibilidades del Diseño para el Reciclaje: Cumplimiento de REACH y contenido reciclado.

Dear user,

We are pleased to inform you that the RecyClass Online Tool has been updated to facilitate your experience and to give you access to additional features and information.

We extended the scope of the tool to non-plastic packaging, starting with Aluminum and Steel packaging in collaboration with CIRCPACK. 

The methodology, the questions and the results obtained via the tool for steel and aluminum are the responsability of CIRCPACK.
