Supporting packaging compliance in Asia-Pacific
SHANGHAI , Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Henkel has opened a new route to certified packaging recyclability testing in Asia-Pacific. The Henkel Packaging Recyclab Shanghai has passed the official audit of the cyclos-HTP Institute (CHI). The accreditation authorizes the site to carry out EU paper packaging recyclability testing and to issue EU recognized external test assessment reports for customers across the region.
The accreditation further strengthens Henkel's local support for packaging manufacturers, converters, and brand owners as they prepare for the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and increasingly complex recyclability requirements. It also positions the Packaging Recyclab Shanghai as a key part of Henkel's growing global Packaging Recyclab network, alongside the facility in Düsseldorf, Germany. Integrated into Henkel's global Inspiration Center experience, these laboratories help customers explore, test, and optimize packaging solutions from concept development through recyclability assessment.
