Recycled plastic content products

Standard CAN/BNQ 3840-100
Recycled plastic content products

Plastic resins are an integral component of modern societies. Their mechanical and chemical properties, including being lightweight and durable, make them ideally suited for a multitude of essential applications. Plastic resins have consequently come to be used as a key material in thousands of manufactured products across virtually all sectors of the economy including automotive, electronics, construction, medical, and food and beverage, among others.

As companies strive to include an increased proportion of recycled plastic content in manufactured products, and as governments consider mandating the use of recycled content in certain products, it will be crucial to have a standard method of calculating and verifying recycled content in products. A robust standard and certification protocol will ensure a level playing field for industries that adopt it and will provide consumers confidence in product claims and labelling for recycled content.

This standard for recycled plastic (recyclate) content products aims to support and encourage positive change throughout the plastic value chain, including by citizens, industry, and governments, to ensure that plastics remain in use in a circular economy, and out of the environment.
