Environmental Claim Validation
With UL's Environmental claim validation, packaging manufacturers can rely on one of the world's most trusted names-UL-to validate their sustainability claims.
These days, the landscape is full of products claiming to be green. However, the growing number of "Claims" have made it difficult to differentiate between products that are genuinely environmentally preferable and those that are not. This is where UL can help.
Through the use of rigorous scientific analysis, UL Environment helps demonstrate to the marketplace that a packaging manufacturer's environmental claims are factual and not "greenwashing". This is important because, for specifiers and other purchasers, greenwashing is the single biggest challenge they face when trying to select more sustainable packaging materials.
One huge benefit for packaging manufacturers whose products have achieved environmental claim validation from UL Environment is that they may use the UL Environment environmental claim validation badge on their product packaging and marketing materials. This badge communicates to customers and prospects that the packaging has been tested by a third-party and independently validated to have been manufactured and/or perform in accordance with its environmental claims.
Additionally, all validated products are featured on UL Environment's sustainable product database, a free online tool that allows specifiers and other purchasers to identify products by product category, company name, product name, or type of claim.
