The consultation will be open for two months. e.g.: until February 15th, 2026.
DfC represents the evolution beyond today’s Design for Recyclability (DfR) Guidelines. While DfR ensures high-quality recyclate after a single use, DfC sets a more ambitious benchmark: maintaining material quality and functionality across multiple recycling loops, consistent with EU policy expectations and industry requirements for closed-loop PET systems.
The transition from DfR Guidelines towards DfC Guidelines will be presented in the PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference on 4th and 5th of February. Launching and using DfC will allow the industry to focus on innovative solutions that drives multi-loop recycling.
