WASTE: Partly Recycled Packaging

This Proof Point is for products with packaging components that have been recovered, reprocessed and converted into new materials.

The criteria for this claim is that the product's main packaging component must be recycled. The main component of the packaging must satisfy the thresholds of recycled content.

To evidence this Proof Point please detail:

  1. the product's packaging components
  2. the material of each packaging component
  3. the recycled content of each packaging component

This evidence is best presented by completing a Statement of Transparency.

Guide to completing the Statement of Transparency

  • Please complete one table in the statement per packaging type - a packaging type is defined as a unique packaging combination that can be used across 1 or more products (e.g. bottles, jars, tubes).
  • For each packaging component please state its material and the recycled content. 
  • Alternatively, you can ask your packaging supplier to verify this claim. As proof of this, please upload the file/email with written verification from your supplier. Please note, for a Proof Point to have verified status, we need to disclose the verifier (which in this case is your packaging supplier).

Please complete one submission per packaging type. A packaging type may be applicable to multiple products like in this example evidence.
