PFI launch extension to RMC to benefit more product ranges

The newly released RMC 2.0 Standard changed the requirements for obtaining an RMC certification. The recycled content requirements for products has been reduced to 5% from >50% to ensure that as the RMC expands, it can be more inclusive of a variety of products and incorporate more materials outside of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

The RMC 2.0 certification comprises three parts;

  1. It ensures that part of the product, in surface area or weight, is made from recycled material. The minimum acceptable amount of recycled material is 5% of the overall finished product.
  2. A full RMC certification guarantees that the recycled content of the product is >50% recycled PET. Where the recycled material content is between 5 – 50%, an RMC Mixed certification is awarded.
  3. It verifies that facilities involved in the manufacturing of certified products comply with social and environmental standards.
