With the positive evaluation by the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA)âs, RecyClass Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification becomes the go-to scheme for companies that want to comply with the standard EN 15343:2007 and to stay ahead in the circular transition. The scheme verifies and certifies the origin, as well as the percentage of recycled content in, beyond packaging, virtually any plastic products in line with the latest market and regulatory developments.
âIt is a clear signal to all the actors of the value chain who are searching for a reliable and credible scheme to certify the circularity of their plastic productsâ, said Paolo Glerean, Chairman of RecyClass. âThis positive evaluation will bring more transparency on the market and give confidence to both downstream and end-users. We are convinced that such a robust tool will constitute major support for the companies willing to substantiate their commitment on the use of recycled plasticsâ he added.
The positive evaluation by the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) comes as an important milestone for RecyClass whose overarching objective is to drive harmonisation for advancing plastics circularity in Europe and beyond. The approval for RecyClass Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification officially attests to the highest standards, operational procedures, and its impartiality.
The scheme was positively evaluated as a scheme based on product certification (ISO/IEC 17065) following the European Accreditation Procedure for the Evaluation of Conformity Assessment Schemes by EA (EA-1/22).
Furthermore, the recognition will promote transparent verification and finally the uptake of recycled content in new products on the European market while raising awareness about the importance of verified, circular claims.
The application procedure was handled by BELAC, the Belgian Accreditation Body, and evaluated via the EA, which regroups all the Accreditation Bodies from across Europe.
RecyClass Certification Bodies can now start the application procedure to be accredited for Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification according to ISO/IEC 17065 standard.
