The demand for third-party certification of recycled content claims is growing significantly. As You Sow published a report that graded multiple companies on their use of recycled content. The As You Sow report recommends pursuing third-party certification for recycled content stating, “it will be increasingly important that companies use a third-party service to verify that they are purchasing actual recycled material, rather than virgin material that has been improperly marketed as recycled to fill demand.”

GreenCircle certification can ensure that you are purchasing authentic post-consumer recycled content.

We developed a recycled content brochure with companies like you in mind. This comprehensive document explains everything you need to know about third-party certification including: the certification process for recycled content, important consumer research, and how certification can give your company a competitive advantage.

*GreenCircle is endorsed by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for conducting reclaimer audits as part of the APR PCR Certification Program. GreenCircle’s Recycled Content certification has also been included in Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly Program and Wayfair’s Shop Sustainably.
