10 Oct 2024
Supporting transparency and regulatory compliance in recycled plastics
Spain: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to announce that Intertek Business Assurance has achieved ENAC accreditation to provide Conformity Assessments and a new Recycled Content Product Certification scheme, according to the EN 15343 standard, globally.
A certification according to EN 15343 empowers companies to accurately validate the percentage of recycled plastic in their products—an essential capability for both plastic manufacturers and packaging companies aiming to meet stringent environmental standards.
EN 15343 is aligned with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Circular Economy policies, helping companies ensure that they meet international regulatory standards, while enhancing transparency and building greater credibility in their sustainability practices with stakeholders and customers alike.
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 organisation’s commitment to sustainability and the principles of a circular economy, the EN 15343 certification sharpens its competitive edge in the marketplace.
Ángel Monteagudo, Technical Director for Intertek Business Assurance in Spain, said: “Achieving EN 15343 accreditation is a major milestone for Intertek in our aim to support businesses in their commitment to sustainable and responsible practices. The certification will enable organisations to minimise their environmental impact and enhance the lifecycle of their products, showcase their sustainable design policies to customers, boost competitiveness, and contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. Through this accreditation, Intertek continues to champion sustainability and drive positive change in the plastics industry, paving the way for a greener and more transparent future.”
Calin Moldovean, President Business Assurance, Food Services, and Assuris, said: “We are proud to be driving positive change in the plastics industry, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.”
By offering EN 15343 certification, Intertek continues to support sustainability efforts and promote positive change in the plastics industry, contributing to a more transparent and environmentally conscious future.
