RECYCLED CONTENT
Recycled content is comprised of pre-consumer and/or post-consumer material that is used as a raw material in the manufacturing of products.
CLOSED LOOP PRODUCT
Closed loop products have been designed utilizing life cycle thinking and intelligent environmental considerations for recycling at the end of life, typically into the same or equal quality product.
CERTIFIED ENERGY SAVINGS
Products that provide energy savings compared to similar products are highly sought after as utility rates increase and consumers continue to focus on energy reduction.
BIOBASED CONTENT
A biobased resource can be defined as a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed of biological products, including renewable domestic agricultural materials and forestry materials.
RECYCLABLE MATERIAL
Recyclable products can be diverted from the waste stream through available processes and programs and can be collected, processed, and returned to use in the form of raw materials or products at the end of life.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OPTIMIZED
GreenCircle will verify and certify claims that life cycle impacts of products were reduced as a result of implemented changes to the product based on previous LCA data.
DEMATERIALIZATION
Dematerialization is delivering the same or comparable product with maximized resource effectiveness by reducing the mass or material types in the product or its packaging.
MATERIAL INGREDIENT REPORTING VERIFICATION
HEALTH PRODUCT DECLARATION VERIFICATION
As an approved third-party verifier of HPDs by the Health Product Declaration Collaborative (HPDC), GreenCircle ensures that manufacturer’s HPDs were completed in accordance with the HPD Open Standard.
DECLARE LABEL VERIFICATION
GreenCircle is one of few verifiers of Declare labels approved by the International Living Futures Institute (ILFI). Declare verification provides manufacturers with the confidence that their Declare labels have been completed in accordance with the Declare Manufacturers guide through a review of ingredients, supply chain documentation, and label claims.
MANUFACTURER INVENTORY VERIFICATION
Manufacturer Inventories give manufacturers the freedom to develop a reporting document that aligns with mandatory regulatory chemical audit methodologies, while providing the same required information and verification rigor as other material ingredient reporting options.
