PackLab – The Next-Generation Online Packaging Lab
A Twin Rarely Comes Alone. In the EKO-PUNKT PackLab, your packaging’s digital twin undergoes recyclability testing based on the minimum standard set by ZSVR and BMU.
EKO-PUNKT PackLab.
Test Your Packaging’s Recyclability Online
Create the digital twin of your packaging online with just a few details – quickly and easily.
The EKO-PUNKT PackLab guides you step by step through the testing process, all the way to certification. You can test not only individual packaging but also combination packaging and packaging groups. Once the digital twin has been successfully created, it is saved in your customer account.
Simple Online Testing Thanks to the Digital Twin
The fastest and easiest way to assess the recyclability of your packaging at low cost.
All you need are the manufacturer’s specifications for your packaging and just a few minutes to create its digital twin.
The evaluation is done with a click and already shows you the eco fee modulation and the expected future fund contribution for this packaging.
Try the EKO-PUNKT PackLab – your first test including certification is free of charge.
Eco Modulation Fee – Cost Planning with Confidence
The environmental policy idea behind the Eco Modulation Fee is to create financial incentives set by lawmakers to encourage the design of packaging that is as recycling-friendly as possible.
Packaging that fails to meet these criteria will soon become significantly more expensive.
In Germany, this is expected to take the form of a fee paid into a dedicated fund. While the exact structure, thresholds, and amount of these surcharges have not yet been politically determined, EKO-PUNKT’s PackLab already enables you to simulate the potential additional costs for packaging with reduced recyclability – giving you cost certainty today for the regulations of tomorrow.

Better for the Environment – and for Your Bottom Line:
The Benefits of Recyclable Packaging
The recyclability assessment is intended to raise awareness among distributors – and ultimately also among packaging producers – of the importance of using or manufacturing packaging that is as recyclable as possible and thus climate- and resource-friendly.
Key considerations include:
– Can the packaging be separated into its individual material components?
– Are there appropriate systems in place for detection and sorting under real-world conditions?
– What percentage of each material can actually be recycled?
– And: What proportion of recycled content is already included in the packaging?
To address these aspects, the Central Packaging Register (ZSVR) and the German Environment Agency (UBA) have defined minimum standards for the recyclability of packaging subject to system participation.
These standards are based on what is currently technically and practically achievable under prevailing conditions – and will be gradually tightened over time. Sustainable packaging begins with knowledge – and verified recyclability is the first step.
Let our experts support you in evaluating and improving the recyclability of your packaging.
