Recycled and Reusable Materials
Recycled and Reusable Materials
Recyclable and reusable materials refer to materials that can be recovered, processed, and reused during production and consumption, or that have the potential for recycling. The use of these materials helps reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution and is an important practice of sustainable development.
Recycled Materials
Materials are those that have been recycled from waste or old products, processed physically or chemically, and then reused in production. The core principle is “recycling,” and common examples include…
Recycled Plastics
For example, PET bottles can be recycled and reused to make fibers or packaging.
Recycled Metals
For example, scrap aluminium and scrap steel are smelted and reprocessed.
Recycled Paper
Paper products made from recycled wastepaper.
Recycled Glass
Broken glass is remelted in a furnace to make new glass products.
Recyclable Materials
This refers to materials that can be recycled and reprocessed after use using existing technologies or facilities; its core characteristic is “recycling potential.” For example:
Recyclable Plastics
Plastics such as HDPE and PP can be sorted and recycled.
Recyclable Packaging
Materials such as cardboard and metal cans are designed with recyclability in mind.
Bio-based Materials
For example, compostable PLA plastics (subject to specific conditions).
Our Solutions
Circular Economy Comprehensive Certification
A circular economy–based evaluation and certification of corporate practices in resource use, waste management, and supply chains.
Recycled Content Certification
Recycling content certification is an independent third-party verification of the actual content of recycled resources or recyclable materials in a product or raw material.
Recyclability Certification
Recyclability certification is a certification that determines whether a product or packaging is recyclable during the design, production, and post-use stages.
