Recycled Content Certification

Certificate Description

The use of recycled content in manufacturing is an important strategy to reduce carbon emissions and should be encouraged for all products and packaging. Verus allows manufacturers to obtain affordable third-party certification of recycled content for any product. Verus utilizes a combination of ISO 14021 standards, EPA and FTC guidelines to establish a protocol. Pre-consumer and post-consumer designations are evaluated and indicated on customized symbols. Recycled content is expressed quantitatively as a percentage. Total proportion of recycled materials is considered by mass for the product and or product packaging.

Verus can also calculate the reduction of environmental impact that results from using recycled content through a Life Cycle Assessment.
