PackUK announces the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) roadmap
Our Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) roadmap, showing planned developments from 2025 to 2030.
PackUK is pleased to announce the publication of the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) 2025-2030 roadmap.
The roadmap provides a strategic overview of RAM development, and the intended material reviews over the next five years. PackUK has worked closely with the RAM Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Guest TAC Members on the roadmap’s development, responding directly to industry feedback and demonstrating our continued commitment to a collaborative and transparent approach to RAM development.
The roadmap contains all information needed for industry, including regular events like quarterly TAC meetings, annual four nations policy alignment reviews, annual publications of the RAM, and relevant pEPR policy deadlines. The roadmap additionally includes one-off deep dives into different material types to assess how RAM can better support those packaging materials and consider industry innovation in future updates.
These deep dives are in addition to the annual update cycle, ensuring the RAM continues to evolve to reflect industry trends, whilst also ensuring fuller-scale reviews of each material category. All timings in the roadmap are subject to change.
The RAM will undergo continuous improvement over the coming years, addressing stakeholder queries, developments, and issues as they are received, integrating as many reasonable changes as possible into annual RAM updates.
