Recycled Content Certification
Stay compliant with California and European laws. Give your clients the proof they’re asking for.
Retailers, regulators, and consumers want more than promises — they want proof.
California SB 54 requires producers to cut plastic waste and use verified recycled content.
SB 343 restricts misleading recyclability claims.
The EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation and Single-Use Plastics Directive are setting ambitious recycled content targets.
Without independent certification, your claims risk being flagged as greenwashing.
Are your clients asking for this?
Why It Matters
