PSV Bag label: certifies the content and traceability of recycled plastic stored in reusable bags
PSV By-Product label: Certifies plastic materials managed as by-products (i.e., residues, scraps and pre-consumer plastic industrial residues coming from both the production and the transformation of polymers, actually used during the same or a subsequent plastic material manufacturing process by the manufacturer or by third parties, without further treatments other than standard industrial practices, since they already meet product requirements in the sector for further activities of production/transformation of plastic materials) and/or materials and/or semi-finished products and/or finished products made from by-products,
Minimum by-product content ≥ 5%.
Without prejudice to the possibility of reducing this percentage with IPR’s prior authorization on account of specific technical or regulatory provisions.
