Empowering companies to accurately validate the percentage of recycled plastic in their products is an essential capability for both plastic manufacturers and packaging companies aiming to meet stringent environmental standards.
Organizations across the world are increasingly committing to Circular Economy Policies and to the 2030 agenda which requires manufacturers to work on eco designing their products as well as improving their controls on their supply chains. The EN 15343 certification goal is to increase the percentage of product content from recycled raw material.
As companies work to meet increasing consumer demand for sustainable practices and comply with evolving regulations, partnering with a trusted certification body like Intertek to obtain EN 15343 certification is key. In addition to demonstrating the organization’s commitment to sustainability and the principles of a circular economy, the EN 15343 certification sharpens its competitive edge in the marketplace.
