Packaging - Optimization of energy recovery from packaging waste

The objective of this report is to identify and define properties of packaging and packaging waste to allow optimization of energy recovery.
This report takes a wide approach to the process of energy recovery in order to identify the items to be standardised according to the Directive and the Mandate.

Introduction
The Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste, Annex II, 3(b) states that Packaging waste processed for the
purpose of energy recovery shall have a minimum inferior calorific value to allow optimization of energy recovery
(Ref. 1).
The Commission’s Mandate M 200 Rev. 3 asks CEN to propose a standard on Requirements for packaging
recoverable in the form of energy recovery, including specification of minimum inferior calorific value
(EN 13 431).
Energy recovery is defined in Article 3.8 of the Directive : ‘energy recovery’ shall mean the use of combustible
packaging waste as a means to generate energy through direct incineration with or without other waste but with
recovery of the heat.
EN 13431 shall apply to packaging placed on the
