Recyclability refers to the ability of a product or its components to be reprocessed and converted into new products, materials, or substances. It focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of recycling operations that recover valuable materials from waste, transforming them into raw materials that can be used again for the same or different purposes. Recyclability is a measure of how much of the product’s material content can be feasibly recycled at the end of its life cycle.
Recoverability involves the capability of a product to have its materials or energy retrieved through various recovery processes when it reaches the end of its life. This includes not only the recycling of materials but also the recovery of energy through processes like incineration with energy capture. Recoverability encompasses all operations where waste serves a useful purpose, either by replacing other materials that would have been used for a specific function or by being prepared to fulfill such a function.
Save your time to calculate the value of Recyclability and Recoverability for your products. In just a few minutes, get Artificial Intelligence calculated value of the Recyclability and Recoverability of your product and according to standard EN 45555:2019 “General methods for assessing the recyclability and recoverability of energy-related products”
