Legally sound certification:
Book a free consultationAbout us
flustix is an independent certification initiative for verifiable environmental and product claims in global markets. Together with accredited laboratories and certification bodies we test products and packaging and award trustmarks for Less Plastics, Microplastic-Free, Recycled, Recyclable and PFAS-Free. Environmental claims are thus independently substantiated, backed by regulation and communicated transparently to consumers and business partners alike.
Independent. Transparent. On the way to a world with less plastic waste.
Vision & mission
The plastic challenge has reached unprecedented dimensions: plastic can be detected in food, water and soil. Our mission: avoid, use responsibly, recycle. flustix does not reject plastic across the board, we advocate using it only where it is truly needed, for instance in medicine or transport. Of the roughly six million tonnes of plastic waste in Germany, almost 60 percent is “recovered for energy” in incineration plants, in other words, burned. We want to change that: with transparency, independent verification and a functioning circular economy.
Our standard
01
Plastic does not rot, it breaks down into ever smaller particles whose surfaces attract toxins that enter organisms through food, water and cosmetics. flustix supports companies in using plastic responsibly, avoiding microplastics and building a functioning circular economy.
02
Only transparent, independently verified sustainability communication enables companies and consumers to make purchasing decisions with confidence. Our independence protects against consumer deception, in B2B and B2C alike.
03
Plastic-reduced and circular products are more successful economically because their sustainability can be communicated clearly and credibly to end consumers.
Our approach
Our trustmarks are a positive label, not a critical one. As the first independent trustmark portfolio for 360° plastic sustainability, we bring together economy, society and the environment: meaningful products, improved quality of life and resource conservation. The result is trust in conscious material use, in B2B and in communication with consumers.
Our certification
We cooperate globally with independent, accredited certification bodies and recognised testing laboratories to offer recognised certifications based on international and national standards. These partnerships and the third-party certification system guarantee objective assessment and global trust in our trustmarks, and support companies in verifying their sustainability claims in line with the Green Claims Directive and Directive (EU) 2024/825 “Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition” (EmpCo), including the required evidence.
Almost any sustainable product or packaging can qualify for flustix certification. The goal is to clearly highlight plastic-sustainable properties and inform business customers (B2B) and consumers (B2C) transparently and credibly. The circular trustmarks flustix RECYCLED & RECYCLABLE are available as combined seals in cooperation with TÜV SÜD / RecycleMe, covering all material streams, from plastics and paper/board/cardboard to metals and glass.
Every product that is to carry one of our trustmarks undergoes rigorous laboratory testing to determine its plastic content or recyclability. For the flustix RECYCLED trustmark, a detailed supply chain audit is additionally carried out to verify the quantity and type of recyclate used.
After successful certification, the flustix trustmarks can be used for marketing purposes directly on packaging, at the point of sale, in print and online media, in TV advertising and in direct communication, your licence for credible green claims.
