APR Design® Assessment Tool
Powered by
Evaluate your plastic packaging for recyclability in North America using the APR Design® Guide.
The APR Design® Guide, Automated!
For over three decades, the APR Design® Guide has set the standard for designing plastic packaging for recyclability. It is widely referenced by leading organizations worldwide and has been adopted into regulations across multiple US states and Canada’s EPR system.
The APR Design® Assessment Tool Powered by Recyda automates this guide.
Enter your composition and and instantly assess its recyclability against the Design for Recyclability criteria outlined in the guide.
How it Works
A simple, step-by-step assessment to understand where your packaging stands.
Provide details for your packaging including the components used, and on properties such as additives, colors, barriers, etc.
Or optionally, import your existing packaging composition data via the API (on higher plans).
Depending on your packaging, answer additional questions to improve the accuracy of the results.
Get Recyclability Results for Your Packaging
Our software then automatically categorizes your packaging into one of the APR Design Guide categories: Preferred Design for Recycling, Tolerated But Needs Improvement, Non-Recyclable, or Requires Testing.
Compare Results Across Packaging Units
Manage multiple packaging units and easily compare their recyclability results to identify opportunities for improvement.
Save Time
Instantly get results, skipping manual assessment against the APR Design® Guide.
Reduce Risk of Self-Assessment
