umweltverträgliche und entsorgungstechnische Gesichtspunkte

German to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology
Die Verpackungsmaterialien sind nach umweltverträglichen und entsorgungstechnischen Gesichtspunkten ausgewählt und deshalb recyclebar.

Am having quite a bit of trouble fitting all of this into a sentence - any ideas?

German term (edited): umweltverträglichen und entsorgungstechnischen Gesichtspunkten
Selected

environmental compatibility and means of disposal

What about something like this:

All packaging materials have been selected on the basis of environmental compatibility and means of disposal and can therefore all be recycled.
Peer comment(s):

agree Teresa Reinhardt : ??? disposability would fit inent and syntz better (a menas of disposal is a waste bin)

environmentally friendly / can be disposed of easily

I'd venture to suggest some rephrasing here, along the lines of:

All selected packaging materials are environmentally friendly and easily disposable as they are recyclable [can be recycled].

Admittedly, this is rather turning things the other way round but works nonetheless in my opinion.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rebecca Garber : 'materials are selected to be environmentally friendly and easily disposable' would bring it back to the original phrasing.

True, a very good point.
