Issue date: 2026 05 15

Packaging - Design for recycling of plastic packaging - Part 13: Recyclability evaluation process for plastic packaging - Protocols for PE and PP flexible packaging

This document provides requirements for the evaluation process of any flexible packaging with the main body of the packaging unit predominantly made of PE or PP and for the evaluation process of separate components predominantly made of flexible PE or flexible PP, with respect to compatibility of the design with state-of-the-art collecting, sorting and recycling processes, and the characterization of the output(s) compared to a reference material. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with PE or PP polymer recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM EN 18120-13

What is a "Single-User Licence"?

When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.

How can I get involved in the further development of this standard?

Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
