The evidence

Recyclate content to international standards

The recyclate content is verified along the supply chain via chain-of-custody auditing: based on recognised standards such as DIN EN ISO 14021, DIN EN 15343, DIN EN ISO 22095 and DIN 6120. The conformity of the audit reports is assessed independently by our certification partners.

The trustmark explained

How the RECYCLED trustmark works

The trustmark shows the verified recyclate content in percent, an individual licence number, the link to the public flustix database and the recyclate type, PCR (post-consumer), PIR (post-industrial) or MIX.

Every trustmark is uniquely linked via its individual licence number to a certificate in the public flustix database. This lets retail, business partners and consumers independently verify the stated recyclate content at any time, for maximum transparency and credibility right at the point of sale.
