Our certification mark

This flustix seal certifies the complete product: packaging as well as content.
The Flustix mark can be considered a milestone in consumer protection and sustainability certification: for the first time in history, producers are tested by an independant institution and assure not to market any form of synthetics towards customers.

Together with the established certification partner DIN CERTCO, flustix certifies the recyclability of packaging. Manufacturers of sustainable packaging can obtain the flustix RECYCLABLE mark in a fast and easy way. The basis of the verification is a laboratory analysis in which the recyclability of the materials used in the packaging is proven.

Flustix is now making a clear stand against the production of virgin plastics from fossil fuels and thereby promotes the use of recyclates in goods. The certification is awarded for goods of any kind, which are fully or partly made from recycled plastics. The percentage of recycled plastics is determined by an audit analyzing the manufacturing process and products, including packaging. Subsequently, the product is labeled with the mark by Flustix and “DIN CERTCO Gesellschaft für Konformitätsbewertung mbH”. Flustix is a reliable and economical solution to make the use of recycled plastic visible to consumers.

This Flustix trustmark certifies products, especially liquid product contents, that are microplastic-free. Flustix tests and certifies with its accredited partners on the basis of the only internationally respected and followed microplastic definition by ECHA (incl. ISO/TR 21960:2020 Plastics – Environmental aspects – State of knowledge and methodologies). This refers to solid, water-insoluble plastic particles with a size of less than 5 mm, based on the longest dimension or diameter of the plastic particles. For Flustix, this also includes so-called bioplastics obtained from renewable resources. In accordance with the ECHA definition, liquid and water-soluble plastics are not taken into account, as these can hardly be detected analytically in terms of quality or not at all in terms of quantity according to the current state of analytical technology and thus a legally secure claiming cannot yet be guaranteed. As soon as research has progressed, Flustix will also include these materials in its certification programmes.

This certificate applies for products which are plastic-free inside, but have to be packed in plastic due to sanitary reasons, such as medical appliances or similar. An example for plastic free contents if when plastic coatings in long-lasting items such as children’s toys, electronics or household goods are avoided. This is a great way of effectively reducing the synthetics in products and the number of manufacturers who pass on such coatings is consistingly growing.
If your brand manufactures products with such plastic reduction or similar, you product can be tested and apply for the seal.
