Dear flustix Community,

2025 marks a turning point: it is finally becoming clear that genuine sustainability is not only an obligation, but a source of tangible economic advantage – enabling reliable claims, more efficient internal processes, and immediate financial benefits. As the PPWR moves towards implementation and the EmpCo is already reshaping sustainability communication, the SUPD and GCD are becoming more precise, and the first countries are linking attractive financial incentives directly to certified sustainability in practice. Increasingly, companies recognise that scientifically robust, transparent claims are not a burden – but a genuine competitive edge and a monetary bonus within the evolving regulatory landscape.

In this environment, flustix has taken decisive steps in 2025: new international certifications for leading brands, an expanded partner network, and technologies that noticeably simplify internal data and governance processes. Control Union, PwC, RecycleMe, info.link, Data Hub and Measurlabs now complement the existing flustix network, forming a strong foundation for the challenges and opportunities that 2026 will bring – regulatory, technical and economic.

Our mission remains unchanged: sustainable material use with maximum transparency. At the same time, we continue to unlock concrete advantages for companies – from tax savings and bonuses to credibility built on verifiable, reliable sustainability communication.

This update shows how far we have come – and how much potential can now be realised.

Enjoy the read, and may you have a reflective end-of-year season and a smooth transition into the new year!

Your sincerely,

Malte Biss and the flustix-team
