    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.
