View guidesThe strongest route is to identify the pack function, shortlist the existing catalogue owner page, test the complete pack and retain the evidence used for product, artwork and end-of-life decisions.
| 1. Exact item data | Drawing, material declaration, component specification, recycled-content statement and any relevant compliance document for the precise product reference. |
|---|---|
| 2. Complete-pack test | Fit, seal, leak, torque, label adhesion, handling and line trials using the intended product and process. |
| 3. Collection context | Current UK or nation-specific collection guidance for the finished pack and its removable components. |
| 4. Claim record | Approved wording, evidence owner, date checked, artwork version and review trigger. |
| 5. Commercial approval | Confirmed stock or production route, minimum order, lead time, delivery pattern and change-control requirement. |
The GOV.UK EPR collection links to current producer duties and recyclability-assessment guidance for the applicable reporting year. Recycle Now explains consumer recycling labels and resin codes, and the Simpler Recycling guidance sets out England-specific household collection changes. These sources can change and should be checked when claims are approved.
For machinery, bottle washing or a wider environmental-packaging strategy, use the relevant Lancing specialist domain rather than treating this material catalogue as the owner of every packaging intent: Lancing UK machinery and bottle washing systems.
Start with choosing recyclable packaging materials, then use the claim checklist and the relevant bottle, pouch, closure, label or film guide.
The existing buying and application guides help identify a suitable packaging route. The new technical guidance cluster addresses the evidence and approval work that follows: UK EPR and RAM context, Plastic Packaging Tax records, material comparisons, barrier definition, compatibility trials and controlled supplier documents.
