For whom?

COREPLA plays a crucial role for Italian businesses engaged in the segregation of plastic packaging waste and its subsequent classification. It facilitates the operation of recycling facilities where sorted materials are processed, alongside energy recovery initiatives for the non-recyclable fraction of materials.

What is COREPLA?

COREPLA is an acronym for "Consorzio Nazionale per la Raccolta, il Riciclo e il Recupero degli Imballaggi in Plastica" which translates to "National Consortium for the Collection, Recycling, and Recovery of Plastic Packaging" in English. It's an Italian organization responsible for managing the collection, recycling, and recovery of plastic packaging waste. COREPLA works in collaboration with municipalities, companies, and citizens to promote sustainable waste management practices and to reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging.

What does a COREPLA audit entail?

A COREPLA audit typically involves a comprehensive assessment of a company's plastic packaging waste management practices to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and standards. Here's an outline of what a COREPLA audit may entail:

  • Assessment of Waste Segregation Practices
  • Review of Collection Methods
  • Analysis of Sorting Processes
  • Documentation and Record Keeping
  • Compliance with Legal Requirements
  • Identification of Improvement Opportunities

To be qualified by Corepla is necessary request directly to Corepla if recycler that need to purchase the selected input waste by CSS Corepla.

Benefits of an COREPLA audit

  • The recovery of plastic packaging through COREPLA audits reduces littering, conserves natural resources, saves energy, and decreases air emissions.
  • Recycling plastic packaging waste conserves virgin raw materials required for new plastic production, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The availability of secondary raw materials from recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by replacing virgin raw materials.
  • While energy recovery from non-recyclable waste may impact air emissions, the benefits include reduced waste to landfill and the production of electricity and heat.
