Packaging gains Sustainably Sourced Plastic and FSC certifications

March 29, 2023

It also said the Dungannon, Northern Ireland, site is the first Greiner Packaging factory in the world to be awarded Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification. SSP Certification ensures required recycled content percentage can be traced and assured, from recyclers to manufacturers and retailers. “From recyclers to manufacturers and brand owners, more and more elements of the supply chain are demanding ethical procurement of recycled plastics to meet customer demand,” said Andy Whyle, Sustainable Certifications Group (SCG) senior sustainability and commercial manager. “SCG manages, measures and monitors the whole supply chain, creating an evidence portfolio, with checks being made to validate material testing and in-process quality controls. Flex 6228 tests are used, for the plastics included in the standard, to create a material ‘fingerprint’. The combined findings are assessed, and when all requirements are met, the SCG Team award SSP Certification, clearly demonstrating legislation and customer conformance, such as UK Plastic Packaging Tax and ESG ethical procurement reporting.” The SSP and FSC certifications come after the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved the decontamination process used at the factory to recycle post‐consumer PET into food contact materials.
