Master the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) with Expert Consulting
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled input and chain of custody. The main goal of RCS is to increase the use of recycled materials, providing brands with a trusted tool to verify the exact recycled content in their products.
The Two Types of RCS Certification
Depending on your product composition, your business will target one of two claims.
RCS Blended
Used for products containing between 5% and 94% recycled material.
RCS 100
Reserved exclusively for products containing 95% to 100% recycled material.
Key Components of RCS Compliance
Material Recycled Content
Verifying that input materials are genuinely pre-consumer or post-consumer waste.
Chain of Custody
Utilizing the Transaction Certificate (TC) system to track materials from source to final product.
Traceability
Maintaining strict documentation to prevent mixing or contamination with virgin materials.
