Packaging design
Design determines whether the packaging can be recycled. We can guide you through the design process with advice, smart tips, design manuals and training courses. You can also have your plastic packaging tested to see how recyclable it is.
"With the packaging manuals that are available, we have had a very good basis when we developed new packaging for our products."

Your choices are important
It should be possible to recycle packaging over and over again. To ensure this, the choices that are made when new packaging is produced must account for the methods used by the recycling facilities. Moreover, the material selected should also be in demand in the recycled materials market.
The choices made in the design process – materials, adhesives, print and so forth – have a major impact on whether the packaging can be converted into new packaging. We can help you improve the recyclability of your packaging.
Packaging manuals
We have created packaging manuals for each type of material: plastic, paper, metal and glass. They are filled with concrete advice on how to produce recyclable packaging. The manuals can help you make even smarter choices when choosing packaging materials. You can download them free of charge.

Training courses
Webinars
FTI arranges regular seminars and training courses together with the materials companies, the EPA and other stakeholders. We can also arrange a workshop for your company.
Test your packaging
The Test Lab
If you are affiliated with us, you can send in your plastic packaging for testing with the same technology used by Svensk Plaståtervinning’s sorting facility in Motala. That is how we are working together to create the conditions for recycling all plastic packaging from Swedish households and create circular plastic flows – with zero environmental impact.
Label your packaging
Labels
Clear labels on packaging make it easier for consumers to sort correctly.
