Overview

CR 1460:1994 - Packaging: Energy recovery from used packaging is a CEN document adopted in Slovenia as SIST CR 1460:1998. Although the full scope text is not available in the extract, the title and indexing indicate the standard addresses the recovery of energy from post‑consumer and post‑industrial packaging materials. This standard is intended to guide decisions and practices where reuse, recycling and energy recovery intersect in packaging waste management.

Key Topics

The standard likely addresses practical and technical aspects of packaging energy recovery, including:

  • Definitions and classification of packaging types and materials relevant to energy recovery (paper, plastics, textiles, wood, composite packaging).
  • Assessment of energy content concepts such as calorific value and factors affecting recoverable energy from used packaging.
  • Preparation and handling requirements for packaging waste prior to energy recovery (sorting, baling, contaminant removal, shredding).
  • Recommended energy recovery routes, for example controlled incineration, co‑incineration and production of refuse‑derived fuel (RDF).
  • Environmental and safety considerations, including emissions control, residues (ash) management, and measures to minimize harmful outputs.
  • Quality and acceptance criteria for packaging waste supplied to energy recovery facilities to ensure efficient combustion and regulatory compliance. Note: The summary above is based on the document title and indexing (ICS 55.040 - packaging materials and accessories); specific test methods or numeric limits are not available in the source extract.

Applications

This standard supports practical use cases in waste‑to‑energy and packaging lifecycle management:

  • Designing packaging with end‑of‑life energy recovery in mind (eco‑design for energy recovery).
  • Developing collection and sorting systems that channel suitable packaging to energy recovery facilities.
  • Preparing technical specifications for waste suppliers and energy recovery plants (RDF feedstock quality).
  • Informing environmental assessments and policy decisions where energy recovery is considered an alternative to recycling or landfill.
  • Helping operators ensure operational efficiency and regulatory alignment at incineration or co‑incineration plants.

Who Would Use This Standard

  • Packaging manufacturers and designers
  • Waste management companies and municipal authorities
  • Waste‑to‑energy and incineration plant operators
  • Environmental consultants and sustainability teams
  • Regulators and policy makers involved in packaging waste streams

Related Standards

For comprehensive practice, users typically consult other CEN/ISO standards and national regulations on packaging, waste management, emissions testing, and calorimetry. Cross‑reference with current EU and national legislation on waste hierarchy and waste‑to‑energy is recommended.
