Recycling Guide

Recycling Guide
for Portable Packaging.

Pangram develops portable packaging made from a range of materials and structures. We provide guidance on separate-discharge methods and separate-discharge labeling requirements based on a product's material and configuration, so customers can more easily find the information they need for product development and label review.

1. Criteria for separate-discharge labeling

Whether separate-discharge labeling applies can vary depending on a product's capacity, packaging form, and other factors. When developing a product or reviewing its labeling, please refer to the separate-discharge labeling exemption criteria below.

Legal basis: Article 16 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources, and Article 6 of the Guidelines on Separate Discharge Labeling (Republic of Korea)

CategoryExemption Scope
Exempt from separate-discharge labeling
  • Containers of products that include a resource circulation deposit under Article 15-2 of the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources
  • Cap- or sheet-type packaging materials that do not carry three-dimensional markings such as printing, engraving, or labels on the surface
  • Cases where the surface area of each packaging material is less than 50cm² (containers/carriers) or less than 100cm² (film/packaging)
  • Packaging materials for contents with a capacity of 30ml or 30g or less
  • Packaging materials that, due to their material or structure, cannot technically be marked by printing, engraving, or label attachment
  • Cup film (cup-film-type packaging with a thickness of less than 20 micrometers)
  • Packaging materials for after-sales service (A/S) parts and similar items that are collected and sorted directly by the obligated producer without passing through general consumers
Exempt from consolidated separate-discharge labeling
  • Where material labeling has been applied to synthetic-resin promotional packaging under Article 4 of the Act on Labeling and Advertising of Foods, etc., the component names and material names (raw-material labeling portion) may be omitted.

2. Material & structure certificates for packaging

At a client's request, we issue material and structure certificates for the packaging of products we supply. If you need to confirm separate-discharge labeling or the material and structure of packaging, please contact your representative.
