RCS Blended – Recycled Claim Standard

The RCS Blended Standard verifies the presence and percentage of recycled content in the final product. This is done through an audit of the input materials and the supply chain by an independent body. It enables a transparent, consistent, and comprehensive independent assessment and verification of the recycled content claims on products. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by SLAB for this program under registration number CP 004-01.

    About the standard

    The standard was developed through work done by the Materials Traceability Working Group, part of OIA’s Sustainability Working Group. The RCS uses the chain of custody requirements of the Content Claim Standard.

    The RCS verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in a final product. This happens through input and chain-of-custody verification from a third party. It allows for the transparent, consistent and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of recycled material content claims on products.
