For recyclability claims, can the inclusion of a package in CONAI contribution bands (e.g., Plastic Packaging Contribution Band) that classify it as “recyclable” be used as documentary evidence?

Currently, at the national level, there are no recyclability tests for plastic packaging, we only have that for paper packaging ( Aticelca® test). Therefore, self-declarations under ISO 14021 can be made.

Since the information must necessarily be verifiable, the contents of the voluntary assertions may rest on the document that details the requirements that plastic packaging must have in order to belong to a specific contribution bracket.
