The flustix community continues to grow: In 2025, strong brands, international manufacturers and specialized packaging companies are once again joining our movement. They all pursue the same goal: less plastic, more circularity, and credible, secure sustainability communication — fully aligned with EmpCo, the Green Claims Directive, the SUPD and the PPWR requirements.
Since the last major flustix update, numerous products have been newly certified or successfully monitored and extended within their existing ranges. The allocation of flustix LESS PLASTICS – MIN. XX% PLASTIC-FREE, flustix PRODUCT CONTENT MICROPLASTIC-FREE, flustix RECYCLED, and others is, as always, transparent and kept up to date in our public certification database.
Starbucks
Starbucks EMEA relies on mineral-coated paper cups and cellulose-based lids from Transcend Packaging for its new to-go cup range, certified with flustix LESS PLASTICS PRODUCT – MIN. 99.25% PLASTIC-FREE for cups and lids in various designs and sizes for different application areas.
“flustix – Rethink Plastics was the natural choice to partner with on the development of the new compostable and recyclable Starbucks cup for Europe. That is not only due to flustix’s strong reputation in the fields of plastic reduction and transparency, but also because the flustix certification of our latest innovation provides credible and significant recognition,”
says Adam Turner, Director of Sustainability at Starbucks.
Kärcher
Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG has certified the housings of its professional T-Range vacuum cleaners with flustix RECYCLED (over 30 variants worldwide). With this, Kärcher demonstrates a high recycled-content share in its product design and shows that professional equipment and circular plastics go hand in hand.
Britt Napoleone of Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG explains:
“Transparency and trust — this is what our partnership with flustix delivers. The professional guidance throughout the certification process was first-class. The flustix trustmark confirms the high share of 45% post-industrial recyclate in our dry vacuum series (T-Range). For us, it is an effective way to make a tangible contribution to our sustainability goals: the reduction of 1.9 kg of virgin plastic per product. The flustix certificate is therefore a central pillar of our sustainability strategy.”
Copecto
Copecto is launching the TIMBERCARD — a wooden payment card whose card body is certified with flustix LESS PLASTICS PRODUCT – MIN. 99.25% PLASTIC-FREE.

About flustix
The organisation, founded in Berlin in 2017, offers six distinct flustix seals: The flustix LESS PLASTICS – MIN. xx% PLASTIC-FREE seals certify, in collaboration with recognised testing laboratories and accredited certification bodies, the entire product as well as either its packaging or the product itself. Products that refrain from using microplastics are transparently labelled with the PLASTIC-FREE – Product Content Microplastic-Free seal. The flustix RECYCLED trustmark certifies recyclates, semi-finished goods, and products with recycled content, including plastics, metals, and glass. flustix RECYCLABLE independently communicates the recyclability of packaging. The flustix seals serve as a guide for consumers and thereby support companies in pursuing a sustainability-focused business strategy and ensuring credible sustainability communication.
