Many packaging and plastic structures fail not because of the idea of recycling, but because of what can technically be removed, reduced, or separated from the material in practice.

​

This is exactly where RIPA comes in. We provide technical proof in cases where pure theory, standard assumptions, or simple desk assessments do not enable a reliable decision.

RIPA verifies complex material transformations and technical separations in line with the specific project scope. This includes in particular:

• Deinking

• Aluminum separation

• Odor removal

• Before/after comparison of the material

• Analytical evaluation of critical substances within the agreed scope

• Heavy metal screening

• Technical separation of complex multilayer structures

• Basis for further sorting and separation

RIPA enables the processing of many complex packaging structures in such a way that the individual polymer fractions are present separately after treatment and can subsequently be further separated by technical means. Especially in the case of demanding multilayer combinations, this transforms a previously blocked structure into a material stream that can be reassessed, sorted, and managed more economically.

Tested structure examples: PP/PE, PP/PET, PE/PET, PP/PA, PE/PA

RIPA Verification is aimed at recyclers, plant operators, packaging manufacturers, converters, industrial companies, brand owners, R&D departments, as well as public programs, ministries, and project sponsors with a need for technical evaluation.

Step 1: Request
You submit the structure, material description, and intended objective.

Step 2: Scope definition
RIPA defines the technical test framework and the exact scope of services.

Step 3: Testing
The agreed analyses and tests are conducted and fully documented.

Step 4: Results
You receive a technical evaluation with a clear, decision-oriented statement within the defined scope.

Step 5: Next steps
If required, follow-up actions such as re-testing, benchmarking, project deepening, or implementation support can be carried out.
