It diagnoses the environmental performance of each package.

Processing
Performance in the collection and sorting system.
Second life
Potential to become a new raw material.
Functionality
Suitability of the packaging for its intended use.
It also shows you the correct pictogram for mandatory container markings, helping you comply with regulations.
