Interpreting Pre-Consumer Recycled Content Claims

 

Which materials can be claimed as pre-consumer recycled content - and which definitely can't?

Debate on the topic is rife within environmental and manufacturing communities.

UL Environment has developed a white paper to provide clarity about guidelines to validate claims of pre-consumer recycled content and to serve as a reference for manufacturers.

The 10-page paper - 'Interpreting Pre-Consumer Recycled Content Claims: Philosophy and Guidance for Pre-Consumer Recycled Materials' - includes:

  • Definitions of key recycled content terms
  • The guiding principles for validating pre-consumer recycled content claims
  • Industry-specific examples of pre-consumer recycled content to illustrate application of the principles.
    The examples cover - plastics; minerals, concrete and asphalt; metals; assembled products and chemicals, paints and glass.
