MICROPLASTIC-FREE Certification

The internationally recognised trustmark for microplastic-free products

This flustix trustmark certifies products, in particular liquid or water-soluble product contents, made without added microplastics, tested in the laboratory and confirmed by an independent conformity assessment.

The following product categories (and more) can be certified across a broad range of applications:

  • Cosmetics & personal care
  • Washing and cleaning agents
  • Home, garden and agricultural products
  • Fish and seafood, sea salt, mineral water

Grouping several product variants with an identical base formulation on one certificate is possible in many cases at no extra charge.

Study

Consumers don't buy green claims. They trust independent proof.

Whether plastic-free, microplastic-free or PFAS-Free: sustainability is becoming less visible. Trust is created through independent proof. The current EFSA and BfR study shows that consumers expect clear, credible information and increasingly base purchase decisions on independent proof.
