WASTE: Upcycled Ingredients

This Proof Point is for products which contain ingredients that were converted from materials that would have otherwise been discarded.

To evidence the Upcycled Ingredients Proof Point please submit both:

  • your completed Upcycled Ingredients cover sheet
  • the proof of purchase for all upcycled ingredients in your product(s)

All proof of purchases should be consolidated within 1 PDF, along with the completed spreadsheet as the front page (tip: save all files as PDF and then use a PDF merge tool to consolidate). 

Guide to completing the Fair Trade Ingredients Cover Sheet

  1. Please list each Upcycled Ingredient in the Key section as a separate row along with the Proof of Purchase reference (can be a reference to the ingredient name/document title). 
  2. In the Key section on the sheet, the column Proof of purchase # is the number you allocate to each ingredient proof of purchase. This is so that we can easily reconcile each proof of purchase (and ingredient) to each product.  
  3. In the Product and Ingredients section of the sheet, please include:
    1. The product(s) that include an upcycled ingredient
    2. The INCI list of the product
    3. The upcycled ingredient of the product
    4. The percentage of upcycled ingredient of the product 
    5. The proof of purchase # which corresponds to the upcycled ingredient(s) in the product
