Recycled items save precious resources. This pertains to items produced from recycled materials. Recycled items can be labeled as part of the Right Choice assortment if the product is made from at least 50% recycled material.
Criteria
To save precious resources and prevent waste, it is important that we reuse materials, thus transitioning towards a circular economy. Items in this category contain reused materials, such as items made from recycled materials.
If you want to label an item as the Right Choice based on a characteristic (e.g., >50% recycled material) instead of a certification, we ask you to provide verification from the manufacturer of the item, proving the origin and percentage of the material.
-
FSC Recycled (Wood)
-
Global Recycled Standard (min 50%) (Clothes excluded)
-
PEFC Recycled (Wood)
-
>50% Recycled material
We request verification from one of the specified Right Choice labels or verification from the manufacturer of the item proving the origin and percentage of recycled material when no certification is available.
Recyclable items are excluded (since their sustainability is strongly influenced by consumer behavior and the existence of a return process).
