What this trustmark states

The flustix LESS PLASTICS trustmark limits the plastic content to a defined threshold; the assessed figure appears on the trustmark itself as MIN. X % PLASTIC-FREE. The certification expressly draws no comparison with other products or with what is usual in the sector, but measures against a fixed limit. That is precisely what makes the claim robust: there is no comparison for it to rest on. This mark assesses the product itself, not its packaging. Where fibre-based materials from the wastepaper stream are used, the tolerance limits for unwanted constituents follow DIN EN 643.
