Choosing to include recycled content in your products can support your circular economy strategy. This practice helps reduce reliance on virgin materials, transform waste into useful resources and reduce your environmental footprint.
However, consumers are growing wary of sustainability claims without third-party support due to a rise in greenwashing.
Recycled content certification from UL Solutions helps you showcase sustainability, built on trust. Evaluation according to UL 2702: Sustainability Criteria for Recycled Content in Products, provides substantiation that your customers can believe.
We provide assessment for claims regarding a variety of recycled content, including:

| Mono-material and multi-material products | 30 | 50 | 80 |
| Assembled products | 5 | 15 | 25 |
