Sustainable Packaging Claims Guide
Sustainable packaging claims need evidence and should match the exact package structure and market where it is sold.
Sustainable packaging claims should be reviewed against material structure, certifications, local recovery access, recycled content documentation, food-contact limits, and whether the claim could mislead buyers or consumers.
TL;DR
- Recyclable claims depend on local recovery systems.
- Compostable claims usually require conditions and certification.
- PCR claims need documented recycled content.
Decision table
| Claim | Evidence | Watch point |
|---|---|---|
| Recyclable | Structure and local access | Not universal |
| Compostable | Certification and conditions | Home vs industrial |
| PCR content | Supplier documentation | Food-contact limits |
| Reduced plastic | Baseline comparison | Performance risk |
