What it is

Recycled Content Certification, without the jargon

Recycled-content claims are only credible when independently certified. We help manufacturers and brands select the appropriate scheme — GRS, RCS, ISCC or others — for their material and market, then build the traceability and documentation to earn certification and substantiate the percentage claimed on-pack or to buyers.

From claim to credible claim

What turns a recycled-content claim into a certified one

A percentage asserted on-pack means little until it is independently certified. Each layer of scheme, traceability and verification narrows a bare assertion down to a substantiated, defensible claim.
