Recyclable Material
Recyclable Material is any substance used in packaging that can be collected, processed, and made into new products after its first use. In packaging innovation, designers now use special markers or digital watermarks on recyclable materials to help sorting machines quickly identify and separate them during recycling. This makes recycling faster and helps keep the quality of the recycled material high, which is important for making new packaging that meets safety and food standards.
