PolyCert Europe
A European technical platform harmonizing recycled-content certification for converted polymeric products.
Activity description
PolyCert Europe is a European technical platform that harmonizes existing recycled-content certification schemes for converters of polymeric materials. The platform is based on a common methodology compliant with EN 15343:2008, enabling recycled-content claims to be mutually recognized across different Member States.
PolyCert Europe:
- sets minimum requirements for certification schemes and certification bodies;
- assesses certification bodies and audit schemes against common criteria;
- supports the verification of compliance, quality, traceability and chain of custody;
- covers recycled content in converted products in accordance with ISO 14021 and EN 15343.
The platform does not issue certificates or audit companies directly. Certificates are issued by recognized certification bodies, while audits remain the responsibility of those bodies.
