flustix trustmarks are used in more than 28 countries, helping international brands, manufacturers and suppliers communicate plastic-related environmental claims in a consistent, credible and regulation-ready way. Every certification is publicly verifiable via the flustix database.
About us
flustix is an independent initiative for plastic-related sustainability. We have products and packaging tested by accredited laboratories and, based on that, award seals for Less Plastics, Microplastic-Free, Recycled, Recyclable and PFAS-Free. This makes environmental claims independently substantiated, legally compliant with the new EU rules and instantly recognisable for consumers on the shelf.
Our Seals
Every flustix certification is built on independent verification, accredited testing partners and public verifiability. The recognised trustmarks for different products, markets and regulatory requirements can be combined flexibly, creating a consistent environmental-claim strategy across your entire product portfolio.
Certified recycled content based on DIN EN 15343 and ISO 22095. Cross-material verification of recycled content, supporting PPWR, EmpCo, plastic tax and EPR-related communication.
Certified recyclability of packaging in line with PPWR-related recyclability classes A–C. A robust basis for substantiated recyclability claims, PPWR readiness and potential EPR-related benefits.
At least 99.25% plastic-free product. Ideal for substantiated B2C communication and as robust evidence within the scope of SUPD-related market requirements across numerous European countries, especially for hygiene products and take-away goods.
At least 95% plastic-free packaging. Independent certification for plastic-free packaging communication at the point of sale, including documentation for the PPWR 95/5 rule and potential cost savings within existing EU EPR systems.
The most comprehensive Less Plastics certification for product and packaging combined. Product and packaging are independently certified together, creating maximum credibility with consumers, retailers and authorities.

Regulation
EmpCo, PPWR, SUPD, plastic tax and PFAS are raising expectations for sustainability communication. Supplier declarations alone may no longer be enough for credible external communication. With flustix, companies create robust evidence for regulatory communication, international supply chains and credible product claims.
Green Claims
From 27 September 2026, environmental claims in the EU face stricter requirements for substantiation, transparency and credibility. For cross-border infringements, the maximum fine must reach at least 4% of annual turnover in the member states concerned.
Packaging
The EU Packaging Regulation increases documentation requirements for recycled content and recyclability. The responsibility for substantiated packaging communication lies with the brand owner and requires objective, reliable evidence.
Financial benefits
Spain and France grant financial benefits exclusively for certified recycled content. Combined, that is up to €1,450 per tonne of recycled material. Example: 1,000 tonnes of packaging material with 30% recycled content yields roughly €135,000 in tax savings in Spain and up to €165,000 in EPR bonuses in France.
Pollutants
Stricter REACH restrictions and PPWR-related requirements increase market pressure for verified PFAS-Free communication. Companies that prepare early can strengthen their market position.
EmpCo Directive (EU) 2024/825
From 27 September 2026, sustainability claims must be independently substantiated and certified by a third party. Without proof by then, the claim has to come off the market.
The Process
01
We advise you free of charge on which flustix certification fits your product and your green claims. We then capture all relevant information in a structured way and prepare your individual quote.
02
Our accredited partners assess your product through testing, audit or technical evaluation, depending on the certification scope. The independent conformity assessment is carried out in line with ISO/IEC 17065, creating robust evidence to international standards and supporting the level of substantiation increasingly expected under EmpCo, PPWR and other relevant regulatory developments.
03
After successful certification, you receive your certificate and public database entry, enabling you to communicate your green claims with confidence across packaging, websites, marketing and supply chains. Via the flustix sub-licensing model, certification rights can be transferred efficiently to the brand owner, especially for private-label structures, without repeat testing.
Get started
In a no-obligation consultation, we jointly identify the right certification route for your products, one that supports regulatory communication while strengthening your brand. From the first consultation to international scaling, we accompany you along the entire process: for potential monetary benefits, greater regulatory confidence and clear marketing advantages at the point of sale.
What clients say
“flustix was the obvious partner for us in developing the new compostable and recyclable Starbucks cup for Europe. That is not only due to flustix's strong reputation in plastic reduction and transparency, but also because flustix certification lends credible and meaningful recognition to our latest innovation.”
“Transparency and trust, that is the benefit of our partnership with flustix. The professional guidance through the certification process was first-class. The flustix seal confirms the high content of 45% post-industrial recyclate in our dry vacuum cleaner range (T-Range). For us, it is an effective way to make a concrete contribution to our sustainability goals: saving 1.9 kg of virgin plastic per product. The flustix certificate is thus a central building block of our sustainability strategy.”
“We experienced the collaboration with flustix as highly structured and solution-oriented. With a clear system and sound advice, flustix ensured that we could implement the certification process cleanly and transparently. We were particularly convinced by the expert support and the pragmatic approach.”
