What Is Repulpability Testing?
Not all fibre-based packaging is recycled in the same way. The materials, coatings, inks, and adhesives used in a package can all influence how effectively its fibres are recovered during the recycling process.
Repulpability testing assesses how effectively a fibre-based package can be broken down during paper recycling. By measuring the amount of usable fibre recovered and the amount of residual material remaining, the assessment provides an indication of how compatible a package is with conventional fibre recycling systems.
As packaging designers, manufacturers and brand owners continue to work towards more sustainable outcomes, repulpability testing provides valuable insight into how packaging performs at the end of its life.
Why Repulpability Matters
Recyclability claims are increasingly underpinned by evidence. Understanding how a package performs within a recycling process can help businesses make informed decisions throughout product development and material selection.
Repulpability assessments can support:
- Packaging design and optimisation
- Material and coating selection
- Recyclability claims
- Sustainability initiatives and reporting
- Circular economy outcomes through fibre recovery
Independent Testing Through LaunchPad Lab
LaunchPad Lab provides independent repulpability assessments in accordance with AS 1301.220:2024, Australia's recognised standard for fibre recovery testing.
Developed in partnership with APCO, LaunchPad Lab is one of a few APCO-endorsed repulpability testing laboratories in Australia.
Whether you are developing a new packaging format or reviewing an existing product, our team can provide the data and insights needed to support informed packaging decisions.
